Meet The Artist

Hello, I'm Ariel Soleil, founder of Tresses of Soleil. I don't just style hair—I nurture connections between women and their heritage, helping them embrace their natural beauty through the art of protective styling.

My journey as a hair artist transcends traditional styling. What began as a practical skill evolved into a profound calling that sits at the intersection of artistry, cultural celebration, and intimate human connection. Each braid I create tells a story, not just of aesthetic beauty, but of a woman reclaiming her relationship with her textured hair and, by extension, herself.

The intimate nature of my work—spending hours in close proximity, touching something as personal as hair—creates a sacred space where vulnerability flourishes. This is why I approach each session as a holistic experience. Before I ever touch a strand of hair, I prepare myself mentally and spiritually. The quality of my presence directly influences the energy my clients receive, and I honor that responsibility with intentional self-work and boundaries.

My approach is distinctly different—I bring my expertise to your home, creating a comfortable sanctuary where textured hair is not just styled but truly understood and celebrated. This in-home experience allows for deeper conversations, authentic connections, and styling that considers not just how you'll look, but how you'll feel living with and caring for your protective style.

Through Tresses of Soleil, I'm cultivating a movement that views protective styling as both an art form and a practice of self-love. Every tension-free braid I create serves my core mission: embracing textured hair through modernized cultural styling while influencing a deeper sense of self-appreciation.

This isn't merely a service I provide—it's a craft I've dedicated myself to perfecting, a heritage I'm helping preserve, and a transformative experience I'm honored to share. When we work together, you're not just receiving a style; you're participating in a tradition reimagined for modern expression and hair health.

I create beauty not just for what it appears to be, but for what it reveals about who we already are.
