Essence Beauty Carnival // Essence Fest

We had an amazing experience at the Essence Fest 2019 with our client Nai’Vasha Johnson. She had the opportunity to speak and present on the mainstage at the Essence Beauty Carnival. She featured two gorgeous models with hair looks inspired by the original #CurlQueen Diana Ross while Nai’Vasha was interviewed by Julee Wilson, Global Beauty Director for Essence Magazine. We also attended a private influencer dinner sponsored by Aveeno as well as an exclusive fashion presentation by our very own Darci Daye for her new Mynx Mob Swimwear Collection.

Paris Fashion Week was amazing. Our Founder/Creative Director Layla K traveled to France for a little work and a lot of play! Our client Nai’Vasha worked with celebrities to prep their hair for all of the major runway shows including Janelle Monae, Yara Shahidi, Logan Browning, Selah Hill, Sabrina Dhowre, Danai Gurira, Indya Moore and many more. Go behind the seams with Layla K and check out all the fun she had! P.S. She is obsessed with her beret now #OuiOui
