Hey! I’m Amaya Zipfel, a 26-year-old braider; the hands & heart behind Curious Braids!

Braiding has been my passion since I was a kid, and now I get to turn that love into art every day.💛

30+ hours of braiding in just 3 days last week, every minute was worth it! Seeing the smiles on my clients’ faces reminds me why I love what I do!

I am so grateful for the growth, love, and opportunities that ✨The Lash Bar✨ has brought me over the last six months. Thank you for keeping me so busy and allowing me to do what I love every day. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Curious Braids!❤️💛
