Welcome! You’re in the right place 😊.

Hello, my name is Andre Lee-Oliver, and I am a 11-year licensed cosmetologist specializing in natural hair & curly haircare, and this is my story…

In January 2020, I decided once again to cut off my relaxed hair to start my natural hair journey. My biggest inspiration for that was Cori, my baby girl. I wanted her, as she grew, to love and accept her hair for exactly what it is, and embrace her curls. I remember telling my husband, I’m ready to go natural again. In my heart, I felt like this: How can my daughter learn to love and accept her curls, if I chemically straightened my own?? Children do emulate the behaviors of their parents, right? So, I did it. Cut it reallllly low! 😂

🦋 In just 12 months, I did a lot of self reflection. I began to think; why did I go from natural to straight hair so often in 10 years time? I passed off the excuse that I was bored... in actuality, I lacked knowledge of how to take care of my curls, and was doing the same things that I would do to my relaxed hair to my natural hair, but with 10x more products! 🤦🏾‍♀️

🦋 In 2020, I was given the perfect timing over the summer to just relax, reflect, and relearn (and unlearn) everything I thought I knew about hair, specifically textured hair. In my career, I struggled for yearrrrrs trying to find my focus, my niche, my specialty. And I’m proud to say, I’ve found it. I’ve always wanted to be a haircare specialist, but in order to do that, I had to learn to take care of hair! 🤷🏾‍♀️ And I can proudly say that 5 years later, I’ve done just that! 💜
