Two decades into her own career, Brendnetta has evolved from stylist to educator to content creator with The Salon by InStyle, earning accolades including a 2020 NAHA award along the way.
Though Brendnetta’s expertise in texture and colour has garnered industry recognition and a substantial social media following (she has amassed almost two million likes on TikTok), her focus remains on the personal impact of her work. "Seeing that spark in [clients’] eyes after giving them their new look" she reflects, "that’s what keeps me motivated."
