About

RoyalFlavz Hair Studio, owned and operated by Flavia Royal, bridges a cultural gap in rural communities - bringing expert Black hair care services closer to home, so clients feel seen, confident, and culturally rooted.

My story begins with a personal journey. When I first migrated from Jamaica to Truro, N.S., in 2018, I struggled to find a stylist who truly understood my hair type - Black hair. That challenge inspired me to create the very space I wished existed - a welcoming, one-stop studio where professionalism, quality, and convenience meet.

RoyalFlavz specializes in protective styles such as braids, crochets, locs maintenance, and sew-ins, along with natural hair care and premium braid extension sales. While we shine in textured and Black hair care, we proudly serve clients of all hair types with the same dedication.

From the moment you book with us, you'l feel the RoyalFlavz difference: expert care, attention to detail, and styles that celebrate your beauty with a royal touch.

Flavia is wonderful! It felt like I’ve known her for years, time passed quickly. We went with knotless braids and I do not regret that decision! She did an amazing job! I’ve had lots of compliments.This is the best braider I’ve been to!

I had the BEST experience getting my hair braided by Flavia. From start to finish she was professional and super talented. I loved the way she made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Her attention to detail is unmatched. I’ve had my hair braided many times before but nothing is comparable to what Flavia did. She is truly a rare gem. This experience is 10/10 so I highly recommend Flavia.

I went to Flavia and it was honestly such a pleasure. She reached out before my appointment to make sure she fully understood what I needed and what my concerns were, and she kept me in the loop the entire time so I always knew what was happening. I actually went in to get my hair fixed from a previous stylist, and not only did she completely save it—her technique is incredible—it’s held up beautifully. I’m so impressed and so grateful she was able to fix the mistake the other stylist made. Her skills are unmatched, and I won’t be going to anyone else. She’s amazing, and everyone should go to her!
