This month, we highlight Tevin Washington, whose journey into the beauty industry didn’t begin in a salon. It started in his bedroom, watching YouTube tutorials and practicing on friends. Tevin’s early curiosity quickly grew into a calling, as he began styling hair for peers and discovered a natural talent. What began as informal practice soon became a serious pursuit, leading him to enroll at a Paul Mitchell Beauty School and taking the first steps toward building a professional career. After honing his skills in school and working retail at Sally Beauty, Tevin made a pivotal move to Atlanta, where his career truly took off. There, he built a loyal clientele and leveraged social media to showcase his work, eventually catching the attention of major artists like Summer Walker, Jazmine Sullivan, and Ari Lennox. His ongoing collaboration with rapper JT marks one of his most notable partnerships, reflecting both his creative range and ability to build lasting relationships with clients rooted in trust and shared vision. Beyond the glamour of celebrity hairstyling, Tevin remains grounded in a deeper purpose: using his craft to uplift and empower his clients. Whether he’s creating red carpet looks or everyday styles, his work reflects a commitment to making his clients feel confident, seen, and celebrated. He expressed, “Hair is only an extension of how beautiful they are. The style will not make them beautiful, because they are already beautiful. It’s just going to highlight what was already there!” Tevin is a testament to how showing up with positive energy and building strong relationships with your clients can help your career flourish.
