Interview with Keya Neal A stylist whose passion for color and texture is unmatched with over 28 years of experience, Keya Neal leads a national revolution breaking textural boundaries that have long separated those in the hair industry. Keya’s passion for hair color and education led to the conception of Kolour Kulture, an educational resource for stylists who are particularly interested in the science of hair color and how it interacts with various hair textures. Keya launched her cornerstone education series “Texture vs Race” at The Energizing Summit hosted by the American Board of Certified Hair Colorist (ABCH), which has since become a nationwide movement with a summit of its very own. Through the evolution of Texture vs Race and her REPAIRations movement, Keya is at the helm of the salon industry's diversity and inclusion movement, encouraging "uncomfortable" conversations surrounding race and hair texture. Now, Keya acts as a color educator, texture expert, and DEI consultant, working to create a more inclusive and understanding industry. https://www.kolourkulture.com https://www.instagram.com/texturevsrace/ https://www.instagram.com/keyaartistically/?hl=en TVR Shout Outs: Collaborative Coaches: @aj.small @ayannagivegoodhair @daniellecgiddins @damaliamajeed @ebonichaise @iamjmezsmith @joywilliamsbeauty @kiasterlinghair @kingdomofcurls_ @monaeartistry @phrenchmade @susanlpeterkin @tee.colored.me Production: https://www.instagram.com/theleftbraingroup/ DJ: https://instagram.com/djbryanjunior Photo: https://www.instagram.com/bpaulmobley/ Video: https://www.instagram.com/shawnlmaxwell/ News from TheTease.com https://www.thetease.com/help-make-a-difference-this-holiday-season-with-these-five-hair-gifts-that-give-back/ https://www.thetease.com/squalane-is-the-plant-derived-ingredient-your-skincare-routine-has-been-missing/ https://www.thetease.com/redkens-symposium-is-going-on-tour-next-year-and-we-have-all-the-details/ More from TheTease: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ / (KellyEhlers) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig) Web: https://www.thetease.com (TheTease.com) Email: [email protected] Credits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.

Interview with Josh Comeaux Josh Comeaux has always been into styling his own hair. For his 13th birthday, he asked his parents for a pair of clippers, and in the summer of 1998 he got his wish. After continually cutting hair through high school, in 2005, realizing cosmetology school education was brief and inexpensive, he decided to enroll. For his 29th birthday, he set a goal that he would open a salon in 1 year. Ten months later “Hair” opened up to the public. From there his empire only grew, he decided to create his own hair oil, enter Monte Rio Hair & Body Oil. And when he saw a need to help stylists create virally trending looks, ColorMap was born. This patented technology helps artists visually see results before application and is used by numerous educators across the globe to teach color theory! As he moves forward with building Josh Comeaux Hair, his goal is to educate and motivate more stylists to be their best. https://joshcomeaux.com/ https://www.joshcomeauxhair.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/joshcomeaux/ https://www.instagram.com/joshcomeauxhair/ News from TheTease.com https://www.thetease.com/how-to-do-your-hair-according-to-these-five-viral-core-aesthetics/ https://www.thetease.com/the-best-expert-approved-shampoos-to-gift-this-holiday-season/ https://www.thetease.com/fall-hair-trends-we-cant-get-enough-of/ More from TheTease: Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease) Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ (KellyEhlers) Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig) Web: http://www.thetease.com/ (TheTease.com) Email: [email protected] Credits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.

Interview with Keya Neal A stylist whose passion for color and texture is unmatched with over 28 years of experience, Keya Neal leads a national revolution breaking textural boundaries that have long separated those in the hair industry. Keya’s passion for hair color and education led to the conception of Kolour Kulture, an educational resource for stylists who are particularly interested in the science of hair color and how it interacts with various hair textures. Keya launched her cornerstone education series “Texture vs Race” at The Energizing Summit hosted by the American Board of Certified Hair Colorist (ABCH), which has since become a nationwide movement with a summit of its very own. Texture Vs Race has amassed the support of top industry influences, including but not limited to the board of the American Board of Certified Hair Colorists. Through the evolution of Texture vs Race and her REPAIRations movement, Keya is at the helm of the salon industry's diversity and inclusion movement, encouraging "uncomfortable" conversations surrounding race and hair texture. Now, Keya acts as a color educator, texture expert, and DEI consultant, working to create a more inclusive and understanding industry. The fourth annual Texture VS Race Summit tackles the salon industry's long-standing textural discrimination and favoritism towards straight hair through hands-on education and anti-racism coaching. Each year, hopeful stylists graduate from beauty school with a standardized education that leaves them wholly unprepared and undereducated to serve a rapidly diversifying clientele. The Texture VS Race Summit, hosted by salon industry DEI consultant and color educator Keya Neal, offers education on cutting, coloring, and styling all hair textures. https://www.kolourkulture.com https://www.instagram.com/texturevsrace/ https://www.instagram.com/keyaartistically/?hl=en News from TheTease.com https://www.thetease.com/the-freehand-haircut-is-taking-over-tiktok/ https://www.thetease.com/mayvenns-brittany-johnson-shares-her-expert-wig-shopping-tips/ https://www.thetease.com/get-zendayas-pfw-glam-from-celeb-makeup-artist-sheika-daley/ More from TheTease: Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/readthetease/ (readthetease) Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/kellyehlers/ (KellyEhlers) Instagram: @https://www.instagram.com/eljeffreycraig/ (eljeffreycraig) Web: http://www.thetease.com/ (TheTease.com) Email: [email protected] Credits: Volume Up is a Tease Media production.
