Brandi’s passion for hair was sparked at the tender age of five years old when she would watch her grandmother plait her long jet-black hair as a part of her nighttime routine. This routine fascinated young Brandi and one day led to her asking her grandmother to teach her how to plait as well.

It was during this lesson, something special in Brandi was set ablaze and marked the beginning of her deep-seated passion and discovery for hair.

By age thirteen, Brandi’s passion grew from within the confines of her intermediate village and word got out she was the neighborhood “hair genie.” She was servicing not only her friends, but other peers, their siblings and on occasion, adults too.

Adolescent Brandi typically came to a daily crossroad of having to choose between servicing her guests or completing homework… and doing hair (with her parents’ approval) seemed to always win this daily battle.

This conflict of interest between the demands of school and Brandi’s burning passion for a career in cosmetology soon came to an end when Brandi was granted the rare opportunity to graduate high school at the young age of sixteen to pursue her lifelong dream.

Two brief months passed after graduating high school and Brandi was soon enrolled in Robert’s School of Cosmetology, a private school in the heart of Atlanta- where she was the youngest student to ever grace the campus.

This itself, came with its own set of unique challenges but young Brandi who was quite the rebel at heart, never saw obstacles as a means of escape, but an opportunity to prove herself.

During her courses, Brandi’s niche became more prevalent and she realized she had a deep fascination with the science of haircare, art of hair color and technical skills hair cutting required.

This fascination often led to her being off task, but cosmetology instructor Mr. Robert saw this an opportunity to help her refine her skills. Mr. Robert constantly drilled theory to his students and made it very clear that understanding the science of hair is the foundation for every masterpiece.

Upon graduating her program at the age of seventeen, Brandi was hired as a junior hairstylist at Platinum Plus Hair Salon where she was under the leadership of Ta’Nita Gunn.

Under Ta’nita’s leadership, Brandi learned guest relations, marketing, client retention, proper salon protocol and time management. In addition to these soft skills, she also learned the art of precision haircutting and how to perform detailed work consistently and efficiently.

After time well spent at Platinum Plus, Brandi parted ways and worked at two more Atlanta salons before opening her first studio in 2014. This was the beginning of a massive turning point where Brandi became increasingly fascinated with the entrepreneurial elements of the cosmetology industry. This led her to enrolling in the University of Phoenix Undergraduate program where she obtained an associate degree in Business Management.

Soon after graduating her associate program, Brandi opened her second studio by name of The Chateau Salon- a moniker she will always carry with her because she got her initial start right from the comfort of her own home.

Brandi believes in having a clearly defined “why” as it relates to any decision you make in life. Her goal with every encounter is to leave a lasting impression and make people aware of their God given uniqueness that cannot be duplicated.

She has created a lane of speaking to women through the beauty and therapy haircare provides and hopes to continue touching as many lives as possible.

“Self-care is self-love. I love helping women see themselves in a fresh new light with their own God given tresses. It’s nothing short of magic.”
