Akeem’s number one objective is to give the best possible service that one can get in New York City. Akeem began his career in his hometown of Detroit, Michigan. After earning his license at the David Pressley School of Cosmetology, he began taking clients at Metro Detroit’s number one salon “Curl Up and Dye.” After a short period of working for salons, Akeem began working for himself as a freelance artist catering to his client’s individual needs.

After a successful freelancing career in Detroit, Akeem decided to move to New York City to develop his career as an editorial and celebrity hairstylist.

Akeem has worked under renowned artists including Ted Gibson, Serge Normant, Edris Nicholls, Rodney Cutler, and Joel Warren. Currently, Akeem is an independent stylist in Manhattan’s upscale Flatiron District, distinguishing himself as one of New York City’s premiere talents.
