Jacqueeia’s Story

Meet licensed cosmetologist and natural hair advocate Jacqueeia Long.

“I want to help my clients look and feel their best. My focus is on easy, natural hairstyles that are easy to maintain and look great even after exercise.”

My Love for healthy hair started at the tender age of 10. I was a third grader at a new school and my grandmothers took me to a salon where I got a soft perm. I absolutely despised it. I had scalp burns, flakes and scabs that took pieces of my hair as they fell off. That year I learned a few things. I started doing my own hair, which gave me something to be proud of. I started smiling more. When I got to high school I started doing friend’s hair because I enjoyed helping women gain their confidence and shine. I understood the importance of a woman’s hair, her crowning glory. In 2009 I decided to go natural. As my natural hair grew longer, fuller and healthier, I decided to attend cosmetology school and devote myself to helping women create natural hairstyles that let them run, jump, even sweat, and kick up their heels with confidence!
