As a teenager growing up, I loved braiding my hair in fancy braid styles just for fun,to be alittle different and stand out from the crowd.I graduated university with a Maths Degree and pursued my life as an accountant workingforSky television in London whilst braiding and creating wraps for fun as a hobby. A fewdecades on, I feel incredibly grateful to have thisfunbusinessand the amazing team of girlssome of whom have been with us for decades themselves.We started wrappingand braidingon the Gold Coast in 1994 and havebeen establishedinside the Paradise Centre,Surfers Paradise andatDreamworldfor over 20 years.

I have been working at Surfers Paradise Hairwraps and Braiding for over 5 years. I first started when I was in year 11, I used to practice making wraps on the back of the school bus so that I would improve my wrapping skills to ensure that every customer walked away knowing that their wrap would last them a guaranteed amount of time.It took me two years to get as fast as I am now, and every year I am learning new styles and tricks to try. My favourite thing about hair wraps is the fact that it provides people not only with a holiday souvenir or a treat for the locals, but also a special memory, and I believe that this is what keeps our customers coming back year after year.

I love working with our friendly and talented staff, but it is the excited smiles and grateful comments of our many happy repeat customers that make this job truly rewarding. It is a great feeling to be able to offer you the highest quality hairwraps  and braids available and to finish them off with amazing handmade beads. Fimo has always been a passion for me, and our customers agree that these are the most beautiful, detailed handmade beads around. I am also happy to make these beads to order- they can be made to fit on your large dreadlocks!Face painting and glitter tattoos are a newer and endlessly creative outlet for me.
