ABOUT

Hi, I'm Saira

Hi! I’m Saira (rhymes with ‘Tyra’). Welcome to my little corner of the world, where I explore a variety of art forms. My name means ‘wanderer,’ and that spirit of exploration led me to travel for a year, learning skills that eventually wove into my business. That journey is why I first called it The Cosmic Wanderer Collective when I launched in 2019.

In Spring 2024, we rebranded to SAIRA Studios to reflect fresh new offerings. Today, SAIRA Studios serves as the retail arm of SAIRA Creative, a consulting and public art firm dedicated to helping people feel more connected to each other and their neighborhoods. At the studio, you’ll find hair shimmers, custom henna, and hand-painted artwork—all designed to spark joy, self-expression, and connection.

And really, aren’t those things we could all use a little more of? 

How We Have Grown

What started in 2019 as a mobile henna and hair shimmer business has now grown into a brick-and-mortar art studio in Buffalo! I (Saira) learned henna as a kid, deepened my craft in India, and came back inspired to share it with others. The shimmers? A friend nudged me to bring them to Buffalo from a town in Eastern Oregon (where I once lived), and wow—did they take off!

In 2021, we opened up our first brick and mortar location at the historic Niagara Frontier Food Terminal. Here, we expanded into a full-fledged art studio! Alongside personal adornment, we’ve expanded into painting, community art projects, and murals.

Saira
