#WavieTalks

Cultivating and creating her brand starting at the tender age of 16, Susy Oludele had no idea of the greatness that was destined her way. After being laid off as a Home Health Aide, she took a chance on becoming a Hair Stylist and following her dreams. 

Soon after, she became a force to be reckoned with in her own right. Styling the likes of Solange and Megan Thee Stallion just to name a few. In fact, it was Susy’s creative mind that created Beyoncé’s iconic Lemonade braids. But there’s more to her than what meets the eye.

The importance of community and life’s experiences shaped Susy into the woman she is today. Never forgetting her Nigerian roots, and her origins starting from her own mother braiding her hair as a child. 

Not to mention she’s the proud owner of the Hair By Susy salon located in Brooklyn’s Bed-Stuy neighborhood. Which she makes a few special announcements about!
