About Us
Elizabeth “Lizzy” Fisher, known professionally as Slayed By Liz, is the founder and CEO of Slayed By Liz LLC and a licensed cosmetologist specializing in braiding artistry. Based in Ohio, Liz has built a strong reputation for her creativity—particularly her signature technique of blending braiding hair to create custom, eye-catching color combinations. Her innovative work and authentic personality have helped her grow a loyal audience across social media, with over 106k followers on Instagram, 252k on TikTok, 50k on Facebook, and a growing YouTube community.
A proud Youngstown, Ohio native, Liz discovered her passion for hair at a young age, teaching herself how to braid while styling friends and family. Her journey has been anything but conventional. After leaving high school and later earning her GED, she initially pursued cosmetology but faced setbacks that led her to pause her education. During that time, she experienced financial hardships, including periods of homelessness, while working various jobs—yet her passion for hair never faded.
Determined to change her path, Liz returned to beauty school in 2018 with a renewed sense of purpose. She fully committed to her education, balancing school with building her skills and serving clients independently. Despite the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic delaying her graduation and licensing process, she remained focused—graduating in April 2020 and officially becoming a licensed cosmetologist in September 2021.
During this uncertain time, Liz turned adversity into opportunity. She dedicated herself to perfecting her craft by practicing on mannequin heads, creating content, and building her brand from her living room using minimal equipment. Inspired by the art of blending braiding hair, she began experimenting with custom colors, which quickly became her signature. Her content gained traction on TikTok and YouTube, helping her establish a growing digital presence and attract new clients.
In March 2022, Liz took a major step forward by opening her own studio space. With determination, consistency, and faith in her vision, she transformed a small client base into a steadily growing business.
Today, Slayed By Liz represents not only high-quality braiding services but also resilience, creativity, and self-made success. Liz continues to evolve as an artist and entrepreneur, committed to inspiring others while expanding her brand and impact.
