Akpan Artistry

Hair extensions are one part of Akpan Artistry's salon work. Opened in Washington, DC, in spring 2018, the salon grew from owner Ndi Akpan's cosmetology training and experience at an Aveda-focused salon, where she also expanded her skills in extensions. Akpan Artistry is a hair salon offering beauty services, with the owner's background spanning marketing, cosmetology, and entrepreneurship. Its website describes salon sanitation practices, including cleaning between clients and washing hands before and during services. The business also notes an interest in exploring solutions for women and men experiencing hair loss. Akpan's work has been mentioned in Muna Luchi Bride magazine and The New York Times.
