Meet the talent behind said gorgeousness, Los Angeles native, celebrity natural hair stylist and creator of the Loving Your Hair with Natural Care Workshop, Felicia Leatherwood. I had a chance to chat with Felicia on the phone last week as she was doing what she does best. Even with hands full of shampoo, she took a few minutes out of her busy day to speak with me a bit about her career, her journey and her love for hair care… One of the first things I’m always curious to find out from stylists is how long they’ve had an interest in hair. “Oh, wow.
