YOLANDA • MALAMA LUXE

Being blessed with girls sparked my journey into braiding and natural hair care, and I quickly discovered that what began as a necessity was truly my passion. For over 20 years, I’ve dedicated myself to the art of natural hair styling, protective styles, and professional hair braiding—creating beautiful, healthy looks that make my clients feel seen, confident, and cared for.

At Malama Luxe, my salon space is designed to be relaxing, healing, peaceful, and fun—a place where you can unwind while your hair is restored and nurtured. I specialize in box braids, knotless braids, bohemian braids, and loc services, including starter locs, loc maintenance, and micro locs. My favorite part of what I do is helping clients maintain healthy natural hair through customized protective styles.

I’m especially passionate about supporting clients who are transitioning to natural hair and those who want to embrace and maintain the beauty of their natural texture. My ideal clients are individuals who value healthy hair, prefer low-tension protective styles, and want a stylist who truly listens.

Clients describe me as attentive, patient, thorough, timely, neat, and pleasant—qualities I try to embody with every appointment. When you leave my chair, I want you to feel refreshed, confident, and beautiful, knowing your hair has been cared for with intention and expertise.

Whether you're beginning your natural hair journey or looking to maintain it with protective styles, I’m here to help you love your hair—one braid at time.
