Meet Christina Jusu | Hair stylist & Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Christina Jusu and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Christina, every day, we about how much execution matters, but we think ideas matter as well. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I have been braiding since i was a little child, my grandma always said when she used to braid the hair other peoples hair, i would always sit next to her with my barbie doll and braid its hair as i watch her. I have always had a passion for braiding. I always loved wathing my clients reactions when I finish thier hair. I knew that I always wanted to make anyone who sits in my chair to feel beautiful and confident once they leave my chair. That was the idea and vision behind me starting my business.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
I have been in the braiding industry for as long as I can remeber. I am proud of the growth I have accomplished in the past few years regarding my business. Being able to build a brand that is back by professtionalism and satisfied clients isnt easy. It requires dedication to your craft and patience. I believe what sets me apart is my 1 on 1 approach and client satisfaction. Having that personal relationship with your clients. I have majority of women clients, and in the times we are in, having someone you can talk to about anytime when you may no one to talk to is a great feeling and as women we need that. Working in this field has made me more open, it has taught me patience and most of all consitency. I want my clients to always return, so making sure that I am always consistant with my quality of work and always being professional and a friend when in need.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
So first on the iteneray would be breakfast or brunch. Houston has some amazing brunch spot. I would take her to bloom and bees in Post Oak for brunch. We definately have to get pampared so going to get our nails done and definetely a massage at Hand and Stone, we would have to get some thai food for dinner. I would take her downtown to explore since it so much to do. We would watch a movie at the Roof top cinemas and take pictures at the waterfall downtown. We both love afro beats so at night we are wearing our heals and heading to Domain for afro beats night, it is always a vibe. We would also go sip and paint or take a pottery class.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I am decicatiing this shoutout to my God, my Family and close friends. They have always supported my dreams and aspriations. When I have felt like quitting they where always their to push me to go harder. I would not be this far in my career without them.
