Hello! I am
Karen C. Bishop. I got involved in doing
hair at an early age in life. I used to
sit on my front steps of the house I
grew up in, braiding the neighborhood
kid’s hair. We must have been at least
12 or 13 years old. My friends would
come up with ideas for styles, and bring
it to my vision. Eventually, I went to
College and majored in accounting. While
there, my dormitory room would turn into
the beauty parlor. After graduating, I
clients continued to seek me out to do
their hair! I decided to get a
cosmetology license since this skill was
never going away. The hair game became
so prevalent in my life, that I was
forced to terminate my job, which was a
good job, and concentrate on beauty
enhancement. I met a wonderful person –
Joyce Bryant – a prolific singer, back
in her days. She was very instrumental
in helping me to see the vision. Joyce
would say “Baby, you need to quit your
job, and do hair fulltime”! She
introduced me to Jeffrey Woodley, who
took me under his wings and developed my
skills even further. Jeffrey was the
hairdresser to many celebrities. |

weave their hairs, and he would cut
them! We were a great team. Eventually,
I grew my own wings. My work has been
displayed in Essence, Black Elegance,
Hype Hair, The Ave, YRB, and many
others! I have travelled abroad to do
fashion shows, and several celebrities.
My work also included working on music
videos, television, and commercials. I
am still thanking God for my continued
success! Karen received her cosmetology license in 1985
and her B.S. degree in accounting in 1983. While
attending college, she aggressively &
consecutively pursued a career in hair styling
and has successfully cultivated what has become
an exceedingly high-volume clientele list.
Karen's intensive training and experience in the
business field helped her become an entrepreneur
in the hair industry. She continually strives
for excellence while being focused on remaining
at the forefront of innovative hair care and
design.
