Aura was imagined as a Lagos-born luxury hair house — single-donor raw units and hand-tied lace, sourced and finished with an obsessive attention to the parts nobody sees.
Every unit on this site is fictional. Aura exists purely as a design and development exercise: a full storefront built to demonstrate how a real hair brand's e-commerce experience could look and function, end to end.
Every bundle traceable to one donor, so the cuticle stays aligned and tangle-free.
Microscopic, single-tied knots, bleached and toned by hand before they ever reach a box.
Units designed to be re-worn, re-styled and re-loved well beyond a single install.
This storefront was designed and built by Naomi as a sample project under NaeLab, showcasing front-end development and e-commerce UX: category browsing with live filters, a persistent cart drawer, dynamic product pages, and a lightweight admin panel for managing announcements, sales and stock. In this demo it runs on the browser alone; a live version would connect the same interface to Paystack for checkout and Firebase/Firestore for data.
Aura is not a real brand, no payments are processed, and no personal data collected here leaves your browser.
