Blake Holloway
Enhancements, Weaves & Styling
Experienced beauty professional with a broad styling lane — weaves, multiple hair extension methods and enhancements, plus natural hair care, cutting and styling, always with an emphasis on healthy hair and natural-looking results.

Education
Knowledge, shared.
