Hello All!
I hope you all are looking and feeling Fabulous! I have stepped up my game recently by committing to working out 3 days a week. I also committed to eat right. I have created an eating plan but I will not share that info until the new year as it proves itself to work for me. Anyway I had been listening to the Micheal Baisden show recently and discovered that he has a section having women calling in talking about why they don't workout. It was amazing to hear how women still say that they don't workout because they want to keep their hairstyle for two weeks or so. Well being a salon owner I can't really say that it is totally amazing to hear that statement , but I have been taking care of my clients who live their life fully without hair restraints.
First of all let me shed a little history of myself.I have to admit that I have not totally exposed my business or talents fully for the last ten years.I have been married for 11 years and once we became pregnant and I became a mommy my focus changed. My Cosmetology career started when I was a child but 13 is when I started taking hair clients. My first hair show that I produced was in New Haven ,Ct at the age of 19.I later moved to Atlanta, finished Cosmetology School and went in full gear. It was not until I landed my hair artistry in a national magazine when I realized that I had a true gift. From there I was featured in several hair publications, even landed some covers to magazines. I started working with celebrities such as Angela Bassett, Kandi and Tini of escape, Jermaine Dupri, and others.My career was at a very high peek and I feel in love with my now husband.To make a long story short my husband graduated from Morehouse College , he opened a cafe in Myrtle Beach SC on the beach and we lived in Ga, and SC. My husband and I had a ball running the cafe and I also started dabbing into the media industry and started working at a radio station. I was on my way to being a baby Oprah until God blessed us with our daughter Shina in 1999.Then Our son Mr. Chase in 2001. We opened two salons in Atlanta and it wasn't until Chase was born that we started Natural Radiance Beauty Company offering exclusive salon services as well as all natural hair and body products. So all of this to say currently I have a private, exclusive two chair hair loft that is close to my home.I am such a hands on mom that I enjoy the convinance of working close to home . My clients enjoy the hair loft and the convinance and schedule allows me to focus on raising my family and letting the world know about Nekesa's Natural Radiance hair/skin products. I have not advertised the services aspect of my company publicly. The product and education aspect of the company is advertised quarterly.
Now that you have some history of the beginning of Nekesa and NNR Beauty Company you can realize why someone so talented and skilled in haircare has been unknown to some and loved by many. God has carved my lane for me and I am learning balance of family and business everyday.I have taken full ownership over my gift ,thankful to god. My experience in natural haircare, hair weaving, and braiding and chemical services are strong enough to help the listeners of Micheal Baisden overcome their hair issues. I have converted clients from relaxer to naturals for the past 10 years. I have also taught clients, salon operators,and owners how to care for their own hair texture how it grows out of their hair while still looking Glam!!!The world is my stage ! Lights ,Camera, Action look for "The Best"aka The Hair Goddess aka Hair Therapist, and Hair Guru @ NNR Beauty Company. Here are some examples of NNR clients who are natural and Loving It!

I'm just a tad concerned about Black women not having any hair in a few years....due to weaves. It's not that I wake up every morning thinking about hair weaves, but I write a lot of hair stories, which means I talk to a lot of experts. They're pretty much all saying the same thing, that hair loss, due to the tension or glue from weaves (and lace fronts actually) is common today. And it doesn't seem to matter whether I'm talking to a stylist, dermatologist or trichologist (scalp expert), they're all seeing, regularly, compromised hairlines, bald patches, or major thinning, from weaves. I asked Kim Kimble, kimblehaircare.com (stylist to Beyoncé, Mary J and plenty of other gorgeous-haired celebs) to enlighten me on this particular issue. She started off by letting me know that, for the most part, hair weaving isn't taught in beauty school. You need a license to color or relax hair, but you don't need a license to weave. And most stylists learn to weave by trial and error.

Weave Got Issues: How to Protect Your Hair When Wearing Extensions
Pamela Edwards Christiani
Adrin Washington, a weave pro at the Ted Gibson & Hela Spa, helaspa.com, in D.C., says he has a host of weave-wearing clients with healthy heads of hair. How so? Washington says you need a great stylist (one who knows what your hair can take and will weave accordingly) and quality human hair. Sounds simple enough, but this combination just isn't the norm. A great stylist will make sure your scalp remains clean and healthy. She/he will give you plenty of deep treatments, regular trims and more than likely suggest you give that weave a break every now and then. FYI, a lot of talented stylists get their quality hair from Extensions Plus, extensions-plus.com and getgorgeoushair@ymail.com,
This was an interesting article that I found on Essence.com. During the fall and winter it is usually the time when most clients want to weave hairweave to give their hair a restight.Most weaves are set to last for about 8-10 weeks.The essential part of a good hairweave is the foundation.The hair cannot be braided to tight or sew in too tight.It is important to research what techniques that the stylist uses to give you a desired look.Once you have the weave it is important to not pull or constantly tug on the hair. Another thing is to keep you scalp clean and stimulated by massage. I recommend NNR Scalp Refresher which a witch hazel based natural scalp astringent.
Hairweaves are a mere accessory to the woman who loves to change things up here and there. As a matter of fact I am thinking about upgrading my swag and gettting a weave for the winter.Stay tuned for the pics

Todays Business of Mommyhood
Hello to all,
The beauty about being a momprenuer is the flexibility you have to hang out at you kids school. This blog is of course about haircare, products and the beautybusiness but the key element for the blog is the fact tht I am a full time mom and wife while running my business. I was inspired to start this blog last summer because I knew in adition to me there are other supermoms accomplishing so much.I figured that someone would read this blog and relate to the fact that being a supermom is allowing time for yourself, knowing that nothing is perfect, staying prayed up and laughing at yourself ...a lot. Laughter is good for your soul.I always say if somene were to video the happening of my home and business life they would see that it is never ever a dull moment.I love ever bit of it. Today for example , just as I dropped the kids off to school and was rushing home to get some additional snoozing on in all this beautiful rainy weather I get a phone call.My daughter is like Mom the Student of the Month breakfast is today @ 745. I knew about the breakfast for a while now and posted a note on the fridge but the bed was calling my name.So needless to say I get to the breakfast , meet her friends, stopped at my sons class,my niece and basically did the check in with the teachers and no nap for me.It's ok because I had product orders to fill which requires me to make them and new stores to follow up with.I will make sure I get in the bed early tonite.I promise to do no research online, no schoolwork,and definitely no tv.Tomorrow I work with clients @ www.nekesanrhairloft.com and need to be rested.
