Hairweaver

/ˈhɛɚˌwivɚ/ noun

Definition

A professional person who specializes in weaving, braiding, or attaching hairpieces and extensions to clients' hair.

Etymology

Compound of 'hair' and 'weaver' (one who weaves), a modern professional title that emerged as hair extension services became specialized and commercialized in the late 20th century.

Kelly Says

Expert hairweavers undergo apprenticeships similar to traditional craftspeople—the tension, angle, and technique required to braid without damaging natural hair takes years to master, making skilled weavers highly valued and sought-after professionals.
