Mariatu Tu Browne

Mariatu Tu Browne is the founder of Tu Organics Salon, a licensed Nevada Cosmetology Instructor, and certified Cranial Prosthesis Specialist based in Las Vegas, Nevada.

With more than 20 years of experience in the beauty industry, Mariatu has built a career centered on healthy hair care, education, and helping clients feel confident through every stage of their hair journey. Her expansion into medical-grade cranial prosthesis care was not a departure from that mission — it was its deepest expression yet.

What sets Mariatu apart is the combination of roles she brings to this work: educator, stylist, healthy hair advocate, and now Cranial Prosthesis Specialist.

At Tu Organics Salon, clients do not just receive a wig — they receive the full benefit of two decades of expertise, a commitment to scalp health, and a genuinely compassionate human being who understands that hair is deeply connected to how people see themselves.

What do you enjoy as a Cranial Prosthesis Specialist?

What Mariatu enjoys most is helping someone regain a sense of confidence and normalcy during a very personal and sometimes difficult season of their life.

She listens — really listens — to understand not just what her clients need practically, but who they are and how they want to feel.

Finding a cranial prosthesis that looks natural, feels comfortable, and genuinely reflects who a person is — that is the art of this work. And for Mariatu, it is incredibly meaningful. Her background as a cosmetology instructor means she approaches every fitting with the same precision and intention she brings to teaching — because she knows that the details are what make the difference between a wig and a transformation.

How do you want to help your clients?

Mariatu wants every client who walks through her door to feel heard, respected, supported, and beautiful.

She provides a private, compassionate experience for individuals experiencing hair loss due to cancer treatment, alopecia, burns, and other qualifying medical circumstances — guiding them through the entire cranial prosthesis process with patience, expertise, and genuine care.

Her healthy-hair background adds a dimension of care most specialists cannot offer: professional scalp and hair care support alongside the prosthesis fitting itself, ensuring that what is underneath the wig receives the same thoughtful attention as what is on top. She also helps clients navigate insurance coverage for cranial prostheses so that access to care never becomes a barrier.

Does your salon install medical-grade wigs?

Yes.

As a licensed cosmetologist and Cranial Prosthesis Specialist, Mariatu provides professional fitting, customization, styling, and installation of medical-grade cranial prostheses — creating a secure, comfortable, natural-looking result customized to each client's individual needs and preferences. Every installation reflects her 20+ years of technical mastery and her unwavering commitment to excellence.

What do you love about the community you work and live in?

Mariatu loves the diversity, resilience, and sense of community that defines Las Vegas and Southern Nevada.

It is a city that welcomes people from every background and walk of life — and she is passionate about creating a space within it where everyone feels seen, cared for, and never alone in their hair loss journey.

Through Tu Organics Salon and her community partnerships, she is actively working to expand access to compassionate hair loss services throughout the region — making sure that individuals facing medically related hair loss know that expert, personalized support is available right here in Southern Nevada.

Her work is about restoring confidence, dignity, and a sense of self — and Las Vegas, with all its spirit and diversity, is exactly the community she wants to do that in.
