Fashion Week. She spent over 10 years in NYC designing before moving back to the D.C. area in 2013 where she founded two award-winning first of its kind blow dry + beauty bars, two brow bars, and built a team of over 100 stylists, brow artists and makeup artists over 7 years.
Despite these achievements, Samira has gone through many life challenges and obstacles that didn’t stop her from following her dreams. She tries to help others find their inner strength and confidence not only through beauty services and products she provides, but through mentorship. She encourages others follow their dreams of becoming business owners and change-makers. Charity and humanitarian work is also very important to Samira, both at the local/community and international level. For the past 10+ years, she has supported dozens of Northern VA local charities, schools and non-profits through her businesses, including cancer, alopecia, domestic violence shelters and other causes or events. On an international level, she supports women and children in economically disadvantaged or war torn areas. She also loves vintage fashion, studying fashion history and its impact on culture in different societies, with a special focus on the Silk Road. Her goal is to combine her experiences and knowledge and educate others through classes and courses.
