We recently welcomed the superbly talented Tamia (@finishedlooks) to our staff. The Oakland native has honed her blowout and braiding skills in the two years since becoming licensed. She’s also been doing natural hair for five years. She is inspired by the beauty and fashion of celebrities like Beyoncé and Tracee Ellis Ross. (Ross herself just launched a line of natural hair products called Pattern for hair with 3B to 4C curls that we’re dying to check out.)
Looking for a way to spice up your holiday party? In addition to being a blowout queen, Tamia is also a master braider. Let her style you for your office or family get together and turn some heads.
