Anaiah Raelyn Carney // Legendary Aitana Unbothered Cartier Garçon
The Gilda Hair, 2026
Anaiah lives by a rule learned in ballroom: anything you want, you have to earn. Not in a day, not in a week. Patience. Learn your place, earn your spot. That same patience moves through her hands when she works.
What people don’t see: blood, sweat, tears. Passion, love, happiness. Knowledge passed from head to head. And beneath it, a quiet belief: chosen family can be just as real, just as deep, as the one you’re born into.
My name is Anaiah Raelyn Carney, also known as Legendary Aitana in the ballroom scene, and I am the founder and CEO of The Gilda Hair. I started doing hair as a hobby long before my ballroom journey began. In May 2020, I decided to take my passion seriously and founded my own brand. Hair is more than styling to me, it is a form of self-expression, confidence, and transformation. Through The Gilda Hair, I create looks that help people feel safe, seen, and celebrated for who they are. Every hairstyle is created with love, care, and passion, allowing each client to express their individuality and leave feeling empowered.
