MarkUrBeauty Douglasville

MarkUrBeauty is a braiding business founded and led by Zipporah Israel, who says her braiding journey began about 30 years ago. The business presents itself as more than a beauty brand and describes its braiding and styling as premium. It also sells braiding products and accessories alongside its appointments.

The philosophy centers on braiding as care, confidence and connection. The business focuses on protective styles that prioritize scalp care, hair health and long-term growth, and its mission is to help women feel confident, creative and cared for in their beauty. Its blog describes the braids as gentle, neat and long-lasting, and says they can support healthy hair growth.
