Trini Braids

The Trini Braids were hot when they first came out back in the 90's. They were featured in Essence magazine in a sizzling photo of a beautiful model. We were called on by a client to revisit Trini Braids and we've updated them: they're not as long or heavy and look just fabulous! Read more at Ask Anu.

About.com
About.com, the search engine portal for The New York Times, contacted us recently and ask that we demonstrate for them six of our most popular styles (they actually choose the styles). We've had two days of filming, with more day to go. This all happened during salon hours. And true to form, our sophisticated clients took it in stride and did not balk at the inconvenience. We sincerely appreciate your time, participation, and patience. As soon as the videos go up, you'll be the first to know.
Alluring Looks.com

Client Profile - Donna Johns
Longtime Khamit Kinks client Donna Johns has an appreciation for quality, artistry and innovation; it motivates her professional life and factors in her appreciation of the salon. Currently working as Ad Sales Operations Manager for TV One, Donna has enjoyed a rewarding career that's offered her many creative opportunities.
"I've been in entertainment in one form or fashion since graduating from Anu's alma mater, Howard University in Washington, DC," says Donna.
She started out playing gospel music as a DJ for WYCB, a Washington, DC-based radio station. A year later, she moved to New York City and worked for New Jersey's famous jazz station WBGO as a weekend DJ. Living in New York fed her love of music. Following her dreams, she entered the recorded music industry, working first in artist development and then in marketing for labels such as Epic, RCA and Def Jam and Queen Latifa. READ MORE
