Welcome to AKACHI BRAIDS ARTISTRY

Hey there! I’m so glad you stopped by. I’m sure you would like to know a little about how AKACHI Braids Artistry was born, so here goes.

My name is Faith, and I am the founder of AKACHI Braids Artistry. Growing up in Nigeria, education was paramount. This was the case for me, but my parents also recognized my gift of skill early on and encouraged me to explore it. During summer breaks, my neighborhood hairstylist or tailor would be paid a small amount to train me. They were always astonished by my quick grasp of their crafts.

Upon being sent to North America for college, I began braiding hair to support myself financially and honed my skills within a small community of friends. Shortly after moving to the USA, I found my identity in Christ, and through that, discovered that my passion for beautifying people with my hands was meant to be more than a side hustle.

In November 2023, I abandoned my doubts, fears, and prior career path, and followed God on this journey into the great unknown! On December 29th, 2023, AKACHI Braids Artistry was born. “AKACHI” means “hand of God” in Igbo, my Nigerian native language, serving as a constant reminder that my talents come from above.

To meet client demands, I trained a younger family member in the skill of braiding. Through teaching her, I discovered my passion for empowering the next generation of skilled entrepreneurs. This led to the creation of our braid teaching services.

I am thankful for your support, which has given me the opportunity to turn my passions into a profession.
