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.
What started as a way to support myself has grown into a studio and a mission much larger than me. Fab Xtensions was built to celebrate textured hair, to give braiders the respect they deserve, and to create a space where confidence and culture thrive.
Empowering Every Texture. Confidence in Every Strand.
Fab Xtensions is more than a braid studio — it’s a movement for confidence, culture, and craft.
Our Mission
Celebrate Diversity → We create luxury braids for every curl pattern, coil, and strand, proving that textured hair deserves artistry and precision.
Elevate the Craft → Through masterclasses and training, we help enthusiasts and aspiring stylists turn passion into professional skill.
Build Community → From brand workshops to braid bars and charity events, we bring people together to honour the cultural, social, and creative power of braids.
OUR VISION
Our long-term vision is to set a new standard for braiding in Europe. We are building an ecosystem where textured hair services are visible, respected, and widely taught- in studios, classrooms, and communities.
Beyond the chair, we aim to inspire the next generation of braiders, ensuring that skills, heritage, and opportunities are passed on. By combining artistry, education, and inclusivity, Fab Xtensions is creating a future where braiding is recognised not just as a style, but as an essential part of beauty culture.
