Celebrity Hair Stylist Kiyah Wright Visits Aveda


Kiyah Wright shared some words of encouragement with my esthetics class. . .

Meet Kiyah Wright:

Kiyah Wright is a native of Washington D.C. She styles celebrities such as Mary J. Blige, Tyra Banks, Ciara, and Iman, just to name a few! After meeting Diddy (Sean Combs) in New York as he was just getting his label Bad Boy started, Kiyah got her big break and was offered the job of doing Faith Evans and Mary J. Blige’s hair. Thereafter, she went on to work for the Warren-Tricomi salon in Los Angeles, gaining even more celebrity clientele. This woman is so inspiring! She shared not only how she got started, but how she remains relevant. Ever-so-evolving, she will remain at the pinnacle of her craft. Her “will to win” as she put it is beyond anything I’ve ever seen. Kiyah Wright has a passion for the world of beauty as a whole. In addition to her hair styling accomplishments, she’s also created an image consulting company, Muze Agency. Additionally, she’s developing an ethnic hair care line (I'm UBER excited about that).
Winning two Day Time Emmy’s, this woman doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon, trust me she is in it for the long run!
