Meet Nekki B.

 

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Nekki B.. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Nekki below.

Hi Nekki , appreciate you sitting with us today to share your wisdom with our readers. So, let’s start with resilience – where do you get your resilience from?

My resilience comes from my faith, my purpose, and the legacy I’m building. I’ve faced challenges in business and life, but my deep connection to my purpose, my commitment to healthy hair and self-care, along with my passion for helping others keep me pushing forward. Every obstacle has been a lesson, shaping me into the woman I am today—strong, determined, and unwavering in my vision.”

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I am the founder of Nekki B. Styles, where I specialize in healthy hair care, hair spa services, loc maintenance, and holistic beauty practices. My passion lies in helping clients embrace the beauty of their natural hair creating a safe space for self-care and that’s a part of what makes it so powerful. For me, hair is more than just aesthetics—it’s a reflection of identity, legacy, and self-love. Through my work, I aim to create an experience that blends luxury, wellness, and cultural appreciation, ensuring every client leaves feeling empowered and rejuvenated.

What excites me most about my journey is the ability to educate and uplift others. That’s why I started my blog—to provide insights on healthy hair care, self-care practices, and the rich history behind our hair. It’s more than just styling; it’s about storytelling, preservation, and reclaiming the beauty of our natural hair.

Exciting things are happening! I’m expanding into a new suite to enhance the client experience, making it even more intimate and rejuvenating. I’ve also upgraded my booking site for smoother scheduling and I’m developing a healthy hair care product line.

At Nekki B. Styles, self-care isn’t just a trend—it’s a lifestyle deeply rooted in culture, prioritizing your well-being, and intention. Whether you’re looking for expert loc care, healthy hair treatments, or knowledge to enrich your hair journey, I’m here to support you every step of the way.

There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?

Looking back, the three qualities that have been most impactful in my journey are resilience, faith, and a deep love for creating. Doing what I love is important to
me. Resilience has kept me going through tough times, helping me overcome obstacles while staying focused on doing what I know I can do.
Pursuing your dreams takes work and you have to be willing to fight the good fight.

Faith has been my anchor, not just spiritually but also in trusting my process and knowing that each challenge has purpose.
Lastly, a love for learning—whether it’s learning about new hair care techniques, ways to customize services, or business strategies—has been key to my growth.

For those just starting their journey, my advice would be:

Cultivate Resilience – Understand that challenges will come, but they are opportunities for growth. Stay committed to your vision and trust the process.

Stay Encouraged – Whether it’s your spiritual faith, belief in your purpose, or trust in yourself, staying grounded will guide you through the hard times.

Never Stop Learning – Invest in continuous growth, whether through formal education, mentorship, or self-study. The more you know, the more you can offer, and that’s what will set you apart.

Growth comes with patience and dedication. Trust in yourself, remain consistent, and never lose sight of your ‘why.’ The journey will unfold in more ways than you imagine.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?

Absolutely! I’m always looking to collaborate with brands and creatives who align with my mission of elevating natural hair, locs, self-care, and holistic beauty. I’d love to partner with beauty industry brands for brand deals, product collaborations, and innovative campaigns that celebrate the power, versatility and influence of natural hair.

Beyond that, I’m eager to connect with amazing creatives, writers, and professionals to feature in articles, projects, and visual layouts that highlight the cultural significance of natural hair and its impact on beauty, identity, and empowerment. Whether it’s through interviews, editorial spreads, or collaborative projects, I want to continue pushing the conversation forward and showcasing the artistry, cultural significance and legacy behind our hair.
