In 2019, I stumbled into professional hair braiding while pursuing a business management degree at Georgia State University. I never would have imagined I’d be celebrating 5 years of Kelli Gabrielle Braids and full-time self employment! This course is the culmination of everything I’ve learned in my hair braiding career. My mission is to help braiders shorten appointment times, reduce the physical and mental stress that come with being a braider, and improve braid experiences for Black women, nationwide.
