About Slays of Beauty
Slays of Beauty is a hair and beauty blog for women who want to look good without spending hours in front of the mirror. We cover haircuts and styles for every age and hair type, braids and protective styles, hair colour, hair and scalp care, skin care and nails — always with a focus on looks that are flattering, realistic and easy to keep up.
Meet the founder
Slays of Beauty is run by Charity Wanjiru, a certified hairdresser with more than ten years behind the chair.
Charity trained at Reby Paul’s College of Hairdressing and Beauty Therapy in Nairobi. She spent eight years working in salons in Nairobi and two years in Kocaeli, Turkey, where she also completed a 234-hour professional blow-drying programme run by Ko-Mek in cooperation with the Kocaeli Provincial Directorate of the Turkish Employment Agency. Her specialities are weaving, braids, nails and beauty therapy.
Outside the salon, Charity is a mum — so she knows what it’s like to have five minutes, not fifty, to get ready. She also runs Mama Journal, a Facebook community where young mothers share support and practical advice for the everyday challenges of raising little ones. That same real-life, no-fuss approach shapes everything on Slays of Beauty.
That decade of cutting, styling and caring for every kind of hair — from fine and straight to thick 4C coils — goes into every guide on this site. Each article is written or reviewed with one question in mind: would I recommend this to a client sitting in my chair?
