ABOUT THE BOOK

Brick by Brick: The Journey of Hair, Hustle and Heart is a practical reflection on building a business from skill, consistency, and intention.

Written from lived experience, the book traces the realities of growing a beauty business in a competitive and fast-moving industry. It explores the discipline behind craft, the patience required to build systems, and the mindset shifts that happen when passion turns into responsibility.
