Hayat Gana
Currently taking Twist Cuts. Training to perfect color and highlight services. Look for it soon on my schedule.
My name is Hayat, also known as Hayoota. I was born in Algeria in the city of Tiaret, immigrated to the Bay Area at the age of five, and was raised in Berkeley, California.
​
I mention my background because my naturally curly hair has been deemed hard to handle, disheveled, unprofessional, and unruly in both of my beloved countries.
It wasn’t until I fried my hair with bleach and silk presses to conform to the unhealthy norms of the beauty industry that I realized I needed to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a hairstylist, better yet, a Curly Hair Specialist, a demand that has not been met nor recognized!
