Tokyo Stylez has become one of the most influential names in the beauty industry, known for pushing the boundaries of hair artistry. Her iconic work, including creating unforgettable Halloween looks for Beyoncé, has elevated hairstyling into an art form. One of her standout moments was styling Beyoncé’s recreations of Lil’ Kim and Cardi B for Halloween, blending references to capture their essence and create timeless moments.
Stylez’s journey began at just nine years old, and today, she stands as a trailblazer in the industry, inspiring countless up-and-coming stylists. She explains that her approach to hairstyling is about going all out while staying true to the identity of each client. “The most iconic looks come from taking risks and pushing boundaries,” she says.
Over the years, Tokyo has transitioned from working behind the chair to becoming a global icon of creativity. “It’s been humbling to receive the respect I’ve worked so hard for,” she reflects. “But it’s also a challenge to continue innovating and breaking new ground.” For Stylez, hair is more than just a profession—it’s an ongoing journey of artistic expression. Her inspiration comes from unexpected places, whether it’s the texture of a mangled water bottle or a cultural reference.
Tokyo’s advice to aspiring stylists is simple yet powerful: “Dream big, take risks, and never be afraid to break the rules. Stay hungry, because someone else is out there working to take your crown.”
A highlight of Stylez’s career came in December 2024 when she appeared on the cover of Hype Hair Magazine. “Being on the cover feels surreal,” she says. “Hype Hair has always celebrated the beauty and diversity of women of color, and I want my clients to feel strong, beautiful, and empowered.”
Looking to the future, Tokyo remains excited about the evolution of hair and beauty. “With new trends and technology emerging, I can’t wait to see where the industry is headed.” Tokyo Stylez continues to prove that hair artistry has no limits, inspiring both established professionals and the next generation of stylists.
