Experiencing my first hair show battle was amazing and unforgettable. Held in Oakland with Keif Savage Presents, I was able to work with well-known salon “Nappy or Not” owned by Rhonda for Natural textured hair including Braids, Locs, Styles and so much more.
I remember growing up in this salon as a child, helping my brother out and just being in the environment of so many talented hairstylists. That was my playground. It was such a blessing to be around it all that it inspired me to take it on as my career. I loved watching everyone who walked into the salon walking out even more excited. I truly believe that happy people equal a better world.
For this hair show, I was able to be apart of the make-up team. Before becoming involved with hair, I always had a love for make-up and started doing make-up for other girls in high school. This event taught me timing, organization, and precision necessary for the creative team of this salon to realize the theme they desired.
It was great seeing all of the other salons and their work. It’s amazing what you can do with hair and how you can turn it into a masterpiece.
