Formerly known as BeautyByBuddha, I now proudly stand as The Real Buddha. For more than 14 years, I have dedicated my life to mastering the art, business, and science of hair. What began behind the chair evolved into a movement that has impacted thousands of women through mentorships, live trainings, and hands on education. Throughout my journey, I have built a reputation for delivering results, creating innovative techniques, and helping beauty professionals elevate their skills, confidence, and income. My mission has always been bigger than creating beautiful hair. It has been about creating opportunities, building careers, and showing women what is possible when talent meets discipline.

Along the way, I became the first African American woman to teach a lace class in Times Square, setting a new standard within the industry and expanding my influence across the country. I also developed a signature glueless technique that has generated more than one million dollars in revenue and transformed the way artists approach luxury installs. My work has reached celebrities, influencers, salon professionals, and everyday women who trust my expertise and consistency. Now, I am entering a new chapter with one goal in mind: to share the knowledge, strategies, and techniques that helped me build a lasting brand and a thriving career. Whether you are just getting started or ready to take your business to the next level, you are in the right place.

 

This is more than hair.

This is legacy.

This is elevation.

This is The Real Buddha.
