03 / The world of Slay by Tay
The artist is
part of the art.
Pink, leopard print, long dark waves. Tayviana brings a whole point of view into the frame.
There is playfulness in her portraits: the sunglasses, the birthday cake, the pleasure of putting a look together. She gives you someone to remember. Slay by Tay carries that same sense of authorship, with her personality as much a part of the business as the name above the chair.
That identity is deliberate. Tay creates her own marketing, and has learned that the strongest connections come from showing her work, her personality and the experience she gives her clients. She puts more faith in that honesty than in chasing every trend. It is a new-school approach to beauty: an artist letting people into her world, and making space for them to express their own.
Her creativity has somewhere concrete to go. Calico color brings three to five shades together in distinct sections. Color blocks make contrast part of the look. In extensions, one of her proudest transformations took a short bob to 24 inches of jet black. Tay’s chair has room for someone who wants a change you can see.
The point of view that matters most in the appointment belongs to the guest. Tay wants her to leave feeling “like the most elevated version of herself.” That last word matters. The hair can be longer, fuller, more dramatic; the idea of beautiful is still hers.

A seat for
the next artist, too.
Tay also offers one-to-one education in consultation, cutting and styling, with material on business and mindset. Alongside five-plus years in extensions and her Bellami Professional and Hotheads certifications, teaching adds another dimension to Slay by Tay: a place to pass the craft on.
She first knew the excitement of extensions from the client’s chair. Today, she gets to help someone else find her own version of it.
