KC Mama Bee

I am a San Francisco Bay area native expanding my network between Texas and Atlanta. I have braided hair my entire life;this style of hair adornment created through adding extensions,is a custom passed down throughout generations. From,"French braids" to "single braids", these terms describe the African Diaspora hairstyle variety. Within those two phrases, hundreds of styles can be enjoyed without damaging your own natural hair. I have worked in my own private salon for over 25 years, and as an apprentice. Affectionately, known as Mama Bee, because I enjoy teaching and caring for my community with my garden of wisdom. My students usually call me Ms. KC, but as we develop a relationship it is inevitably switched to Mama Bee.
