Author:Leanna ComminsPublish date:Apr 11, 2019In our long-running series, "How I'm Making It," we talk to people making a living in the fashion and beauty industries about how they broke in and found success.
I went to college and started doing real estate. Once the real estate market crashed, I just went back to what felt good, what I knew. I went to Paul Mitchell [cosmetology school] in Atlanta, Georgia, and got my license. I then started test shooting every single week — maybe four test shoots per week. That's when I first saw the celebrity hairdresser and editorial hairdresser and runway hairdresser — I didn't even know that industry existed.Wanda Sykes.
Brands in drugstores that specialized in relaxers when I was growing up now have products for natural hair, and I see a shift in the industry toward focusing more heavily on natural hair. What are your thoughts on that? I also assess the client's mood. She may not feel like having her hair all snatched up. She may feel free and liberated today and say, 'Hey, I just want my curls to blow in the wind. I don't want to be confined to this. I don't want all these pins in my hair. I just want to let it loose, let it be big, let it be free.'
I can imagine event prep gets hectic and doesn't always go as planned. Do you have any advice on troubleshooting while maintaining professionalism? I think one of the other biggest moments for me was going to Nigeria to teach a master class on curls. Another one, I would say, was my first Paris Fashion Week, which was huge for me. It was so magical for me because you don't see a lot of brown people there — especially in beauty.Understanding all the different textures and how to manipulate them, because it's not easy. You can't use every product for everybody. Sometimes, it's a little bit of experimentation.
