I’m a native of Durham, NC born and raised. I went to R. N Harris Elementary , Shepard Middle, Hillside High. From there, I went to North Carolina Central University. I started working at Amaka’s International Hair Salon in 2006 while attending college. I have been an Amaka’s Model, Shampoo Tech, Salon Receptionist, and Stand-In Manager, and now a Licensed Hairstylist. I was always right beside Dedra the owner of Amaka’s International Hair Salon learning different skills, techniques, and business tips. My specialty is the Silk Press and Curls.
Currently, I’m a Licensed Cosmetologist. I have over 9 years experience in Natural Hair Care and Styling. Hair Babe Beauty is located inside a private suite inside the main salon Amaka’s. It has been said that, I have a kind and gentle spirit that allows clients to relax during their shampoo and throughout the entire service. I attend Influance Hair classes throughout each year to enhance my product knowledge and skills. I’m a recent graduate of Durham Technical Community College Cosmetology Program Class of 2024.
I love taking good care of my clients natural tresses through a plethora of Natural styles. The name “Hair Babe Beauty” came from wanting my clients to be picture ready every time they walk out the salon. I'm accepting new clients!! Come and experience the Magic behind my gifted hands!!!
