The Mane Man
What is your current “spirit color”?
Hard to say. Colors are like emotions; I wake up with a favorite one every day.
How do you come up with a look for someone?
Magic based off of someone’s energy. People have color auras that lead their look into fruition.
What was the most dramatic or daring look you’ve ever given yourself or a client?
Every look is the most dramatic and daring.
Which artists do you look to for hair inspiration?
Cyndi Lauper—she’s a queen. Yves Tumor is killing it with his looks. And I love what Tyler the Creator is up to as well.
What hair trend are you hoping makes a major comeback?
Hairspray, experimenting more with your hair, glamorous makeup.
What hair trend do you never want to see again?
The verbiage of “effortless hair.” I want to see hairstyles that provoke excitement, that give you freedom.
Do you have a favorite color?
Green today, blue tomorrow, pink on Wednesday, neon yellow on Friday, and coral on a leap year.
If you could only have one hairdo and color for the rest of your life, what would you choose?
I haven’t had it yet. You guys will be the first to know.
What is your favorite hair care product?
Mousse—so much action at the pull of a trigger. Sachajuan does a good dry shampoo mousse, and Virtue has a sexy moisture mousse, both not heavy at all.
What are your tips for caring and maintaining dyed hair?
If you’re gonna have dyed hair, you have to water it like a plant. Spritz leave-in conditioner during the day or at night.

Harlem Shake
Check out the full editorial below.
One beauty stigma that you think our generation has the power to change.
Having no set beauty standard at all. As cliche as it is, we can all be beautiful in our own right and in different ways. Appearance should never determine ones beauty or level of attractiveness.
If you could teleport to any time period and place, where would you go and why?
Easy, any time in the 2000s, more specifically 2008-2009. I learned a lot my interests and who I was as a person because at that time everything seemed to be on the surface so you really had to do some deep researching if you genuinely wanted to educate yourself about certain subjects. Also, urban and pop-culture was in its prime.
Create a one-sentence story that perfectly encapsulates the ethos of Harlem.
Harlem is the heart and soul of uniqueness.
Day-to-day beauty regimen?
My daily regimen is simple: condition my hair, wash my face, and pray!
A memory that instantly makes you smile?
When Kevin Durant came to play basketball in my neighborhood.
The most beautiful facial feature?
There isn't one to me-the face is a beauty in itself, kind of like the sum of its parts. It can't be a face without any of them.
What would be the title of your quarter-life biography?
Smarter Than I Look.
One unusual beauty trick that works like a charm?
Using vaseline on my face.
Tell us a secret.
I'm a basketball nerd.
