Felicia Leatherwood

As the leading expert in natural hair, Felicia Leatherwood’s larger-than-life career goes beyond just Hollywood – she’s a full-fledged global hair guru. Numbering among the world’s most celebrated and acclaimed beauty professionals, Felicia’s well-established career is built on her fluency in – and deep love for – natural hair care and hair care education – and she does it all with the signature flair, creativity, and wit that made her an industry icon. Counting Issa Rae (Insecure, The LoveBirds), Lenny Kravitz (Grammy-winning megastar), Simone Missick (All Rise), Ryan Michelle Bathe (The Endgame), Sonequa Martin-Green (Star Trek: Discovery), Oscar-nominated director Ava Duvernay, Oscar winner Viola Davis, and Anthony Anderson (Black-ish) as just some of her clients over the years, she’s one of Hollywood’s most in-demand artists for on-set, the red carpet, and beyond. On Issa Rae’s Emmy-winning HBO series Insecure, Felicia created decade-defining pop culture touchstones through her hairstyling. Fans create Twitter threads of their favorite Felicia Leatherwood-crafted looks, tutorials on recreating them popped up across the internet, and an entirely new generation of young naturalistas saw themselves reflected back through the screen like an affirmation. Is it any surprise Felicia’s love language is Acts of Service? Even her high-profile press in publications like Vogue, Essence, and The Zoe Report emphasize education and expertise above all. To further her mission of expanding understanding of the best ways to care for natural hair, Felicia developed her own critically-acclaimed, thoughtfully-designed hair product line, Brush With The Best, has hosted religious-attended live virtual hair workshops, and appeared on PopSugar, Dr. Drew, ET Online, BET.com, and FOX’s Emmy-nominated The Real. She’s earned plenty of awards and accolades along the way, too, including distinctions as one of Ulta’s Beauty Muse 100 honorees, Curlbox’s Favorite Hairstylist Award, the Create & Cultivate 100 Beauty Recognition, and a Best Hairstylist nomination at the Hollywood Beauty Awards. But in true Capricorn fashion, she’s working on even more – her first highly-anticipated book from Simon & Schuster is on the way, an intimate exploration of healing, self-love, and understanding.
