About Grace & Glory Hair Artistry

Founded by Brianna Hanson

Welcome to Grace & Glory Hair Artistry, where beauty is created with purpose and inspired by faith. Founded by Brianna Hanson, this space was born from a passion for both creative expression and heartfelt connection—offering clients not only exceptional hair artistry, but an atmosphere of grace and encouragement.

As a Christian hairstylist, Brianna views her work as more than a profession—it’s a calling. Guided by her faith, she approaches every appointment with care, integrity, and gratitude, seeing each client as uniquely designed and deeply valued. Every style is customized to highlight the client’s natural beauty, whether that’s selecting a haircut that complements their face shape, a color that enhances their skin tone, or a style that reflects their personality and lifestyle. Her goal is to help every person who sits in her chair feel confident, seen, and renewed—inside and out.

With years of experience and a genuine love for her craft, Brianna blends artistry and purpose to deliver personalized, beautiful results. Whether she’s creating a transformative color, a precise cut, or an elegant updo, her heart remains the same: to serve with excellence and reflect the beauty of God through her work.

At Grace & Glory Hair Artistry, we hold this verse close:

“Let the beauty of the Lord be upon us, and establish the work of our hands.” — Psalm 90:17

It’s a daily reminder that true beauty flows from His presence—and that every conversation, every style, and every smile is part of something greater.

How It All Began

Brianna’s love for hairstyling began at just 13 years old, when she watched her very first YouTube tutorial from Cute Girls Hairstyles. From that moment, she was hooked—waiting eagerly each week for the next Sunday upload so she could learn a new braid or technique.

What started as a fun hobby quickly grew into a deep passion. Throughout high school, Brianna was the go-to stylist for her friends’ proms, dances, and special events—discovering joy in helping others feel beautiful and confident.

After graduating high school, she decided to take her skills to the next level. That summer, she launched her Instagram @braids_by_breelise to share her creative styles and connect with others who loved hair artistry. Encouraged by the support and inspiration she found there, Brianna took a leap of faith and turned her hobby into a career by enrolling in cosmetology school—a decision that would set the foundation for Grace & Glory Hair Artistry.
