Felicia Leatherwood

Los Angeles native, Felicia Leatherwood also better known as the “Hair Whisperer” was just 9 years old when she realized she had a flare for styling hair. While her friends were playing with toys, Felicia was delving into what would soon become her career – hair care and styling. By the time she got to high school, she was earning a substantial salary that most of her friends could only dream of. Felicia went on to receive a degree from Santa Monica Cosmetology School, and eventually began working at the prestigious Millennium Hair Salon in Los Angeles where she built her reputation as a personal stylist. Felicia has done natural styles on stars such as Jill Scott, Kim Coles, Will Smith, Terrence Howard, Anthony Anderson, Hill Harper (to name a few).

She is known to help not only her clients but women all over the world understand and love their natural hair no matter what state it’s in.
