About Us

Hair in my chair is approached with equal parts craft, technical precision, and long-term care.

I’m Tekena JW (they/she), an independent stylist with 12+ years of experience specializing in dimensional color, blonding, textured and razor cutting, and retexturizing services. My work is rooted in intentional design, hair health, and longevity—not rushed trends or high-churn appointments.

I work best with clients who value:

– thoughtful consultations
– realistic maintenance planning
– services designed to grow out well
– care that supports hair between visits, not just the day-of result

Appointments are structured to allow the time needed for precision and customization. I prioritize clarity, consistency, and trust—so clients always know what to expect and why a service is recommended.
