Q: Tell us your story! Where did you begin and how did you reach the caliber you’re currently at?
A: Growing up, I did not come from a “rich” background; but that didn’t mean we were poor. My parents would teach my siblings and I that quality outweighs quantity. I am the oldest of four, it was an obligation of mine to set the bar and lead by example. I remember a time that I asked my parents for $250 to get my hair done; installation, extensions, etc. and it was a hard, “NO!” They worked hard to be able to afford tuition bills for my siblings and I, which was a priority. At that point, I began to teach myself how to create the hairstyles I wanted. The way I could really transform my look from “basic” to “glam” became my passion for hair!
Q: What makes you love what you do? How long have you been working in the beauty industry? Would you call it your passion?
A: I have been in the beauty industry for a decade now. I absolutely love what I do, empowering women to be their best selves in their own skin! I am passionate about self-care which is self-love! Your appearance is your self-expression and your hair is a HUGE part of that. You know the saying, “when you look good, you feel good” and that is my superpower. My aspiration is to empower women all across the country.
Q: What are some accomplishments or milestones you’ve reached lately?
A: September 1, 2022 was the official launch of The Hair Tailor! This has been my biggest accomplishment thus far. It definitely took a lot of hard work, sleepless nights and shedded tears, but I persevered. I am thankful for all of the support from my friends and family during this time. This is a start to my legacy and I’m very proud of myself.
