"Well, hello Church! Greetings in the name of the most high curl cream, oil or gel! lol. So glad you decided to gather here to read about me. I'm ToniaB, your textured hair stylist. And I'm here for it all . . . almost all things natural hair; but especially for the part that helps you feel knowledgeable, liberated and empowered to live in the same space with your natural curls.
Sometimes I'm accused of making love to my client's hair - or taking fuzzy pictures or called out for not taking pictures at all . . . and that's because I'm focused - locked in on styling your hair.
I have been doing this 'Natural Hair Thing' for over 5 years now and I still love it!
Current Obsessions:

Adopted N Proverb: It's Not That Natural Hair Is Difficult, It's That Natural Hair Is Different!
So, again, I'm here for all of it . . . no matter where you are in your journey! Let the Church say "Amen!"
Now, for the next member of our White Oak Crew:
"Hey everyone! I'm Samantha, a native of Silver Spring, MD and a graduate of The Natural Hair Nstitute. In 2009, I decided to end a year long transition by cutting off my permed ends and haven't looked back! I'm passionate about empowering people to love themselves and their natural hair. I work at N Natural Hair Studio on a part time basis and service our youngest clients and the clients who are “young at heart”. I specialize in loose natural hair styles such as two strand twists, flat twists, flat twist updos, bantu knots, flexi-rod sets, etc. I can also provide loc grooming. I'm is a Health Education Teacher for Prince George’s County Public Schools. In my downtime, I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Some of my hobbies include reading, thrifting, journaling and watching shows or movies via Netflix, Hulu, etc.
Hope you enjoyed getting to know me :) "
