Welcome to The Y’allternative

Hey there friend

We proudly offer non-gendered services for anyone aged 10 and up, fostering a space where individuality is celebrated, and everyone feels welcome.

Having an AuDHD owner, we understand the need for quiet, accommodating environments. That’s why we’re happy to offer silence-based appointments—because sometimes a little peace and quiet goes a long way.

We love working with clients who are open to creative collaboration, trusting us to craft looks as unique as they are.

Whether it’s a vibrant color, seamless extensions, or a fresh cut with a little curl love, The Y’allternative is ready to transform your hair into your favorite feature!

Welcome to The Y’allternative, a creative hair studio servicing New Braunfels since 2021. My love for hairstyling began when I was just a little girl, captivated by the transformative power of hair. Over the years, this passion has grown into a career that allows me to help others express themselves authentically through creative color, extensions, and hair health.

At The Y’allternative, I strive to provide a welcoming space where every client feels celebrated, valued, and comfortable being their true selves.

For me, hairstyling is about more than just aesthetics—it’s about helping you feel seen, both on the outside and within. Your self-image matters, and I’m here to support it with personalized services that prioritize your unique style, identity, and healthy hair goals.

Whether it’s a bold new look or maintaining the integrity of your natural hair, my mission is to empower you to shine confidently in every way.


Hi, I'm Maya! 

 “I went to Maya for the first time wanting something a little different. She made a fabulous recommendation, let me test the waters on a new color (which I absolutely am loving), and did a WONDERFUL job on the rest of my blonde highlights. I feel like she really listened to me. I highly recommend her!“

“Y’all, if you’re in the New Braunfels area and need magic done to your hair, SEE MAYA!!! My hair is exactly how I wanted and she is the sweetest! I’m so beyond happy with my hair.”

“I hadn't had my hair cut in WAY too long and finally decided on a big cut. Maya not only fit me in super last minute, she was so sweet and personable and did an amazing job! I can't stop looking at my hair. She brought it back to life and I feel so good about myself, I'm grateful to have found her! I highly recommend her if you're looking for a new stylist.“
