His Current Favorite Products:

“I own an Aveda Concept Salon, so I love their line—92% plant-based and beautiful across all textures. I’m also a fan of One by Wankaya—it’s ultra-hydrating and luxurious. I look for products that nourish and respect the hair, no matter the texture.”

His Top Tip for Healthy Hair:

“Be consistent. Healthy hair starts with regular trims, proper scalp care, and a routine you can stick with. A healthy scalp is the foundation for everything else.”

A Hair Myth He Wants to Debunk:

“That wearing your natural hair is more work. The truth is, when you embrace what you already have instead of constantly trying to change or hide it, there’s freedom. Living in your truth is the most beautiful thing you can do.”

What He’s Learned From His Clients:

“That they need me just as much as I need them. It’s a relationship, not just a service. There’s so much exchange—energy, trust, love.”

How He Uplifts His Clients:

“I tell them, ‘I love you.’ Those three words carry so much power. Sometimes people come in and that’s the one thing they need to hear. It’s healing. There’s power in our hands, and that’s something the industry has forgotten. What we do is sacred. If your stylist doesn’t understand that, you’ll feel it—and it’ll show in your hair.”
