My upbringing was immersed in a culture of hair care, closely observing the practices of my gram, aunts, and mother. This exposure instilled in me a profound appreciation for hair texture, color, and styling. By the age of 13, I had my first experience with Jerry curl extensions, and soon after, I learned to install hair extensions for my mother, who was experiencing significant hair loss. In 2009, I achieved my cosmetology license, followed by several other noteworthy qualifications.In 2013, I found the distinctive brand name ‘Sexee Cheveux Wigs And Extensions’. Nine years later, in 2022, I formally established it as a Limited Liability Company (LLC), effectively merging beauty with healthcare. The following year, I secured a National Providers Registry (NPI) number, enabling the filing of wigs under insurance. My personal journey through breast cancer shifted my focus towards Black and Brown women suffering from hair loss due to medical conditions such as alopecia and chemotherapy. Extensive research revealed the limited selection of medical wigs available for Black and Brown women, particularly in terms of style, texture, and appeal which are major factors for enhancing self-esteem. In response, I introduced a versatile collection of textures which these wigs and extensions that’ll provide an immediate transformation in appearance, allowing women to experiment with different hairstyles and legnths without committing to any surgical or permanent change.
