Welcome to The Studio
Here at Black Ginger Studio, our mission is simple: help others find ways to fall in love with themselves through self care and mindful practices. This space was founded by myself, Mykira Bey, in January 2022 while I was trying to understand what kind of legacy I wanted to lead in our post-pandemic world. Since then, I’ve gained a confident sense of clarity around what I want Black Ginger Studio to grow into…regardless of its physical location. This space holds all of my passions under one umbrella: Holistic Wellness through a yogi inspired lifestyle and practices, Cosmetology in its total capacity, and Education via effective communication with oneself and others. Yoga, Beauty, and Peace is the basic foundation that makes up Black Ginger Studio. For now, we are strictly an online community but the ultimate goal is to have a physical location where our growing community can find refuge when a reset, or guidance, is needed.
Yoga
During the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic, I depended heavily on my yoga practice to keep my sanity. It was healthier than any recreational intoxicant, and helped me start to connect with my body. Yoga helped me establish a routine that I could look forward to during a time of isolated chaos. Once the world reopened, it seemed like we were all so busy getting caught back up on the life we wished we could have lived during the lockdown, that we lost sight of what has always been important…maintaining connection with ourselves. In June of 2024, I was gifted the opportunity to go to Bali for my official Yoga Teacher Training. That’s an experience that will always be the most special in my heart. The thought of the island, my new friends abroad, the sounds, smells, the water, the routine, the emotional cleansing, and the lessons still bring me to tears of gratitude. I left feeling raw in all the best ways.
From July 2024 through November 2025, I’ve made time to understand who I am and how the Higher Power has designed me to show up in this world. Yoga is so much more than being the most flexible or doing a handstand. It's showing up for yourself regardless of the circumstances with an open mind and an open heart ready to give and receive. As our Black Ginger Studio yoga classes and videos start to become available, I hope that you are able to explore a deeper understanding of your spirit in each breath.
Beauty
Beauty is in my bones, and I mean that in the most humble way. Growing up, I was the little girl in the hair salon grabbing magazines for the Aunties under the hair dryer…minding everyone business. Then worked as a Shampoo Girl throughout my high school years under stylists who specialized in their own niche crafts: weaves, short hair, braids, hair color, natural hair, nails, and even a barber. The salon was one of my favorite places to be. I was exposed to so many different types of cultures, perspectives, lifestyles, and wisdom. Then at home, I had my big sister who was, and still is, an Esthetician. One of the most consistent themes I’ve learned throughout every aspect of my beauty career is this: everyone wants to look good and feel good about how they look. It's beautiful to watch a person melt as their sorrows wash away with one simple shampoo and their confidence reignited after that last spritz of hairspray.
Two years later, I followed through and became a Licensed Cosmetologist. Then shortly after became a Licensed Teacher. Followed with working as a full time Esthetician since. The Care aspect, prioritizing the health of your hair, skin, and nails, and teaching others how to care for it too is my true passion in the beauty industry.
I used to do Guided Gua Sha on Instagram Live every Tuesday on my Mambey.Beauty page but I could not commit to it weekly. The videos are still available. Starting in 2026, I will be reintroducing it back into my workshop offerings via Zoom for a more interactive experience. I will not be hosting weekly, but monthly workshops will be available. Be sure to subscribe to our email list and follow on Instagram, TikTok, and Youtube for updates.
Peace
Back in 2019, my hippie friends introduced me to singing bowls and reiki and it was one of the best new things they brought into my life. Those experiences were pivotal in my healing journey, along with locing my hair. My locs taught me how to commit to myself, and the singing bowls taught me how to be present with life. My friends and I would get together and share the latest books we were reading, random hypothetical questions, journal prompts, recipes, and snacks and they were all usually centered around wellness in some capacity. Having a community of like minded people who accept you as you are, hold you accountable to the things you say you want/need, and encourage you to keep going is a community worth keeping. Peace is a choice. Peace can look different for everyone, and that's ok! As Black Ginger Studio continues to grow, I hope that our community can offer you a sense of safety, acceptance and empowerment you may or may not know you need. In the 2026 New Year we will be offering virtual soundbaths monthly via Zoom for those looking for a semi-interactive mindless experience, and Book Club for those who want to yap and make new connections around the world.
Healthy Boundaries
We intend to remind you to prioritize yourself in every aspect of living. As you may have noticed, we do offer beauty services, some with mobile availability and others in our private studio. Since BlackGinger Studio is currently run solely by one person, in-person services are limited. For safety and compatibility purposes, in-person services may be available to select clients, but virtual services like 1-on-1 Yoga Sessions, Harmony Consultations, and Vibrations Sound Baths are available to most. We do NOT tolerate hate speech/slurs and/or behavior that compromises the safety and comfort for our community. Join our space with an open mind and heart.
Growing Together
I’ve learned SO MUCH with life and in my career so far and there is so much I would like to share. Coming in the 2026 New Year, I will be offering Mentorship to other and newer beauty professionals looking to fine tune their communication and soft skills. The intention behind this mentorship program is to guide your growth as a confident professional in a safe and healthy way. More details to come. Until then, you are invited to get involved in all things Black Ginger Studio offerings.
We understand sometimes FREE is all we can afford (speaking from experience), but please know that the quality of your experience does not change. At Black Ginger Studio, we value:
Inner Harmony → peace & self care
Mutual Respect → boundaries, empowerment, and professionalism
Honesty → honest to self and others; transparency
You are invited to grow and glow here, with Black Ginger Studio. There are so many beautiful seeds that are ready to bloom when their season comes. Join our email list for exclusive offers and updates. See you soon!
