Maryam's journey to opening Mirrored, her dream salon, began with a desire to bring a touch of luxury and pampering to The Gambia. Having always dreamed of owning her salon, Maryam was inspired by her experiences of indulging in spas during her travels abroad. Disappointed by the lack of similar experiences in The Gambia, she shared her frustrations with her husband Saikou, who encouraged her to create the kind of upscale experience she craved.

When Maryam stumbled upon a stunning glass building on YouTube, she knew she had found the perfect location for her salon. With four floors to work with, she envisioned creating a multi-level oasis where women could indulge in beauty treatments and retail therapy. Drawing on her expertise in branding and marketing, Maryam named her venture Mirrored, symbolizing self-reflection and self-love.

Maryam and her husband Saikou (who has his own business in the US) designed the blueprint and partnered with Maryam's friend Yayeh (who owns several spas in her hometown, Philadelphia) for guidance. Shomari, the fourth business partner, is also a successful entrepreneur in the US. Together, Maryam, Saikou, Yayeh and Shomari were able to bring this large vision to life.

Employing over thirty people, Maryam aims to provide jobs and career opportunities for young people in the community to build careers in the beauty industry.

Maryam's long-term goal is to expand Mirrored throughout Africa, bringing her vision of luxury and excellence to even more people and potentially franchise it. With a strong team of entrepreneurs backing her, she ensures their branding and aesthetics are impeccable, even down to their towels and water bottles.

With extended hours on weekdays and open on Sundays, Mirrored aims to be a beauty haven that is easily accessible to those working full-time.

Mirrored is more than a spa; it's a vision of beauty, growth, and community in The Gambia and beyond.
