China Dukes

So you’re here because you are curious on the world of hair restoration, well I’m glad and can’t wait to help you learn what’s best for you and your hair. Hi, I’m China Dukes I specialize in healthy hair extensions, partial wigs and dimensional color.

My love of healing hair came from my own traumas of my own hair. My hair started breaking by the inches in my early 20’s from not properly caring for it and lack of knowledge of how to. Followed by developing an autoimmune disease where I developed bald spots the size of quarters all over my head called alopecia areata while I was in cosmetology school. My desperation and shattered self-confidence is what peaked my interest in extensions as well as the science of hair/ hair restoration. While I was struggling with my own hair loss in school, I took several extension courses and have exponentially continued that education over the last 10 years of my licensure. Along the last decade I was blessed to meet women who unfortunately happen to be struggling with more aggressive hair loss due autoimmune disease, genetic hair loss and cancer that I began to also create custom partial wigs to bridge the gap of what extensions couldn’t do. 

 While continuing my own education with over 20 advanced certifications, I fell in love with passing along the knowledge I’ve soaked up and became the youngest licensed National Educator for L’anza Healing Hair Care for 5 years and in 2019 was named “top 5” most requested Educator in the entire country. In my role with L’anza I was exposed to product development and advanced education in the science and structure of hair with lead Scientist and Product Developer Bill Toplinsky. The opportunities and education I’ve been immersed in throughout my career has continuously ignited my passion for making the amazing woman who sit in my chair feel beautiful and love who they see in their reflection.

What I am the most proud of my work is my respect for your natural hair. My goal is to truly educate you on how to properly take care of your natural hair, feel beautiful with the addition of hair be it partial wig or extensions and create beautiful hair color that is customized not only to your skin tones and facial features but as well as your long-term goals with your hair. 

My goal for our working relationship is for you to feel that we are a team, educated about your hair, optimizing your natural hair’s health, dimensional lived-in hair color that reflects your long-term goals for your hair and extensions placed and maintenance based off of your individual hair needs.
