I’m a licensed cosmetologist with over 15 years of experience specializing in multicultural hair extensions, working across a wide range of textures and installation techniques.

I received my cosmetology training at The Hair Academy in New Carrollton and hold a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

Throughout my career, I’ve continued investing in advanced education. I’ve trained in Microlink extensions with Marcella Ellis, completed certification training with DreamCatchers Hair Extensions and Metowi Extension Systems, and earned my Trichology Practitioner certification under Evie Johnson.

I’ve also worked on professional productions including BET’s My Black Is Beautiful, which gave me the opportunity to work with public figures such as Garcelle Beauvais and Hydeia Broadbent. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients such as Wendy Osefo and Erica Mena.

My focus has always been on technique, customization, and maintaining the health of my clients’ natural hair.

Extensions are not attached to your scalp, so they don’t receive natural oils the way your natural hair does. Because of that, they need added moisture to prevent dryness and tangling, especially if they are color-treated or were...

How I Install My Microlinks (Single vs. Double Bead)
In this video, I’m showing exactly how I install my microlink extensions and explaining the different placement options. There isn’t just one way to install microlinks. Some of it comes down to client preference, but I always explain what I recommend and why. Single vs. Double Bead Placement There are two ways I secure microlinks: Single Bead - I typically use single beads around the outer layer and perimeter. This keeps the hair more flexible and less noticeable, especially for styling or...
