You may already recognize our “resident” hair care pro from our Ask the Pro series here on the blog. Or you may have seen her work around the web and in magazines. What you may not know is that this natural hair pro is just as fierce in fashion as she is in beautifying the manes of many. We met some years back through a mutual friend and discovered that we shared a passion for natural hair and hair care education. We’ve been supporting the endeavors of one another ever since. ♥ Say hello… Hey Blooming Naturals! My name is Simeko and I’m owner of Meko, New York Natural Hair Care Spa & Boutique located in Orange, NJ. I was born & raised in Harlem, NY but now I’m a Jersey Gal (although Harlem still runs through my veins). How long have you been wearing your hair in its natural state?…
You bring it, she paints it! Your favorite “Afro Artist” Ashley White aka Ash the Painter will be in Orange, NJ this evening at Meko, New York Natural Hair Care Spa & Boutique hand-painting your tees, sweatshirts, tank tops… whatever! Word on the street is she might even sing a lil bit. 😉 For $35, Ash will be painting “Autumn Attitude” (above) on whatever article of clothing you bring in. But wait, there’s more! From each painting, Ash will donate $5 to Simeko’s Born to Be a Natural Leader Teen Workshop Program which aims to help young women build self-esteem and embrace their natural beauty all the while helping them develop valuable career skills. Good stuff, huh?! Head on down after work and watch Ash as she turns your apparel into a gorgeous work of art. 5:30 pm-8:30 pm Meko, New York Natural Hair Care Spa & Boutique 616 Freeman…
