20+ Years Working with Afro & Textured Hair

I’m Samir Samaali, French-born African, trained in Paris and New York. I’ve been working with afro and textured hair for over 20 years. I don’t treat textured hair as a niche or a specialty add-on. It’s central to what I do.

Too many hairdressers in Sydney don’t know how to work with afro hair. They either avoid it or treat it the same as straight hair with different products. I understand the structure. I understand how it grows, how it breaks, what it needs. I work with your hair, not against it.

Whether you want locs started from scratch, crochet braids installed, your afro shaped, or just someone who’ll look after your natural hair properly, that’s what I’m here for.

“I’d given up on finding someone in Sydney who could work with my hair texture. Samir changed that on the first visit.”
