If it's natural, it's better! Today's guest is Pekela Riley, hair care consultant, master stylist, and founder of Salon PK and Pure + True Texture. Pekela had a difficult childhood, but she never let that stop her from going on her way. Her mother inspired her to overcome obstacles and challenge her creativity, so while she was studying nursing she switched to cosmetology school. Six months after starting cosmetology, she went full-time to a salon to pursue her career as a professional stylist. Working with passion and determination paid off, because today she is recognized around the world as one of the pioneering stylists of the natural hair movement, and her Salon PK became a recognized styling house included in Elle magazine as one of the "100 best hair salons of the US." With a unique vision, she is truly an elite expert and one of the beauty industry's most innovative talents always staying on trend and looking for the next cutting edge.
