Our Background
KTHAIRTIQUE< ASTITCHED PERFECTION<COUTURE CROWNS BEAUTY STUDIO<CROWN JEWELS HAIR CO.
The School of Beauty was founded to inspire and empower beauty entrepreneurs, combining business skills with industry expertise. Our story begins with our founder, Akyra, whose entrepreneurial journey laid the foundation for what our institution represents today.
In 2013, while working as an independent hairstylist, Akyra recognized a gap in the hair supply market. At a time when virgin hair was virtually unheard of and most women relied on human hair from local beauty supply stores, she wanted to provide her clients with better options. Driven by her commitment to quality, Akyra began her journey to source the finest hair extensions for her clientele.
In November 2013, sitting at her college dorm room desk, she packaged her very first order of hair bundles. This humble start was the beginning of something transformative. Akyra had an epiphany: why not create her own brand of hair and offer it as a package deal for her clients? This idea sparked a new approach to increasing revenue for beauty professionals—a model many entrepreneurs have since adopted.
​
Over the years, Akyra’s business grew steadily as she learned the ins and outs of the hair supply industry. From studying hair quality to building strong relationships with top vendors, she honed her craft and established a thriving brand. Hair supplying became her main source of income and continued to generate revenue even as she pursued other goals and endeavors.
The School of Beauty embodies Akyra’s journey and passion for helping others achieve success. Through our innovative courses and supportive community, we aim to cultivate the next generation of beauty entrepreneurs, empowering them to thrive in the beauty industry with the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to succeed.
