Haircare to the highest degree possible. Anybody can style hair-- but how many people can you say truly care about the ORIGIN and HEALTH of your hair, from root to tip? I specialize in deep conditioners, hot oil treatments, and hair masks (all made in my kitchen) as well as gentle styling that will nurse your hair through it's toughest times.
I'm an Extension Artist---I use a innovative technique that invloves NO GLUE, NO HEAT, NO BRAIDS, NO SEWING, NO CHEMICALS and NO DAMAGE, whatsoever. Hard to believe, right?! I know! It encapsulates your hair under the quality 100% full cuticle hair that I order in so that your real hair can be protected and grow in while you flaunt your sexy, full, and long style! You can even relax and color over these extensions! Interested? Drop me a line!
I love styling.
While modern looks are easy and fun
,
I love the challenge of vintage looks. Pin Curls, Finger Waves, Bouffants, Pompadours, Flip Unders, Afros, Teased Up-Do's etc.

Other professionals who are passionate about the state of their client's hair. The ones who will refuse and turn away a potential client until their hair is safe enough to work on. The ones who grease the scalp, nape, and ears before a relaxer. The ones who put color half an inch from the scalp first. The ones who do things by the book, but have an internal instinct and can continue the rest of the way with their gut. The ones who know that a trim is a trim and not a cut!
The type of client/friend who is concerned about CARING for their hair first, and then having it look sexy and styled second. The ones who know it takes time to nurse hair back to health after treating it so wrong, for so long! The ones who don't mind coming back to me in a month. The ones who actually do.
Indpendent men and women who are secure with their goals and aspirations and can admit that they are not always on top of staying focused...because I can too!

My mother, my children, Oprah, people who have sacrificed their life and comfort for others. My ancestors who have gone before me and hurt their backs, and broken their fingers so that I can live so freely and content. Madam C.J. Walker, the founder of modernized African American haircare. Thank you.
