Lady Kay


Stylist + Cosmetologist
My name is Lakesha Black, I am a licensed cosmetologist and owner of Empress Kay Collection LLC. I graduated from Virginia Farrell in Westland, Mi. My goal as a licensed hair stylist is to educate, especially Queens, about what I've learned about healthy hair care, how to gain and maintain a healthy scalp, the hair cycle, how to grow beautiful healthy hair and to transform them from the outside, in! I call it HAIRapy! When you come and get serviced by me, you don't just get healing from the outside. You get healing on the inside. Resulting in you feeling AMAZING when you get out of my chair! You feel joy on the inside and that joy exudes on the outside. I also have some great healthy hair care products that will help you achieve your healthy hair goals, for maximum results.
