Narisse Monkam, Afro hair specialist and founder of L’Afro Beauty and the organisation Epipheny, brings decades of experience in the hair industry to a deeply personal and transformative mission: helping Afro descendants unlearn shame, reclaim identity, and care for their natural hair with pride.

Her journey began at just eight years old in Cameroon, styling her mother’s and classmates’ hair with instinctive joy and skill. What started as play quickly became purpose. As a teenager, she trained and worked in her aunt’s salon in Douala, dedicating weekends and school holidays to mastering her craft. At the age of twenty, she opened her first salon in Douala. A few years later, she joined her family in the United Kingdom.

In this multicultural space, Narisse saw an even deeper need not just for haircare, but for healing. She pursued professional training at Salford College, where she spent three years studying hairdressing and the science of hair. Her education, combined with the real-life experiences of her family and clients, opened her eyes to the deeper struggles rooted in colonisation, identity, and self-worth.

Through her work, Narisse began to understand the psychology of black hair: how deeply it connects to black history and how often it has been misunderstood or mistreated, .and how powerful it is when embraced. 

Book

 

This book is not just a guide; it’s a masterpiece of restoration. It challenges harmful narratives and offers practical and emotional tools to break the generational cycle of self-rejection. With ‘Colonised Hair, Decolonised Mind,’ Narisse empowers the community to love, care for, and fully embrace their true beauty naturally, unapologetically, and proudly.

My family and I have been going to Lafro for a number of years now, Narisse work has always been exceptional. I went to a wedding yesterday and got a tonne of compliments on my hair. I normally do but not so many in one location. A number of persons asked for the shop's details which I was happy to share. We will definitely continue to get our hair done by Lafro.

I booked here a few months ago for a wash and trim. As someone who tends to avoid salons due to negative experiences, my experience here was great. The owner was gentle and patient with my hair, and made sure to check in, which definitely made me feel at ease. The whole process did not feel rushed at all but it was very efficient which was positive. The salon itself was calm and clean making it a nice and comfortable environment to be in. My only issue was there was some miscommunication regarding the appointment booking which was a little bit stressful before I arrived. Overall, I had a good experience🙂

The best hairdresser I’ve had and the most relaxed I’ve felt whilst getting my hair cut. Warm, welcoming people and caring, respectful service with a lot of attention to detail.
