Hello beautiful!
I am Osemene aka "Omene". Born in Nigeria, I moved to the US at 17 and currently based in Houston, TX. I love Jesus, my husband, and some good food! I consider myself gifted with my hands especially; hence the desire to use that creativity to create beauty! My guilty pleasure includes shopping at target, enjoying Tres leches from dessert gallery and endlessly browsing through Pinterest. Outside of hairstyling, I work in the social service field as a Public Health Professional. Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to connecting with you here and in-person!
My Story
What began as a passion for creating elegant looks for myself and friends has blossomed into a bridal styling service dedicated to making every woman elegant on her special day!
I remember the first time I did an updo it literally took no time or extra effort, but got so many compliments- That was when I knew I had been blessed with a talent that will serve many in the near future. The more I styled the better I got and the more people started noticing and asking me to help style their hair for special occasions like weddings, photoshoots and engagements. As more weddings began happening around me, especially in the church I belonged to, I noticed a lack of stylists who were specially skilled in natural hair styling. Burdened with the desire to see my natural sisters looking good without breaking the bank, I took a huge step of faith and launched Gracious Hands to allow me give the kind of service and style I believe every bride deserves. Most importantly, I took each styling appointment as an time to also speak life, prayers and blessings over my bride- a special gift I like to give to every client as they begin their journey to forever. I have seen brides go from nervous to calm, feeling beautiful, brimming with joy and excitement to walk down the aisle- that's the power of a gracious hand!
