From Side-Hustle to Signature Studio

Hello, I’m Angela Eruba. I arrived in Dublin as a mechanical engineer, then completed a Master’s in Business to climb the corporate ladder.
While juggling course-work and visa delays, I braided friends’ hair in my flat—as a side hustle, just to cover bills. The side gig grew faster than any spreadsheet I’d ever built. Each client left feeling more confident, and bolder; I felt the same spark. Necessity had uncovered a passion I couldn’t ignore.
