Celebrating National Black Business Month: Spotlight on Salon Brazyl in Carrollwood

In celebration of National Black Business Month, Salon Brazyl in Carrollwood is making waves in the community with its focus on natural hair care. Owner Latecia Hankerson, a second-generation hairstylist, is passionate about restoring and healing the hair of her clients.

With a background in cosmetology that started at the young age of 15, Hankerson has always been drawn to the beauty industry. After working in various salons, she decided to open her own in 2006 to create a unique and personalized experience for her clients. At Salon Brazyl, customers are treated to mimosas, coffee, tea, and snacks while receiving top-notch hair care.

Hankerson’s salon specializes in natural, curly hair and she prides herself on helping women embrace their natural beauty. She avoids perms, extensions, and relaxers, focusing instead on improving the health of her clients’ hair. “My biggest hurdle is trying to convince women who look like me that your hair is beautiful. I could cry,” she shared emotionally.

One of the key pieces of business advice that Hankerson lives by is to always be early or on time, as it can make or break a business. With a dedication to providing a positive and uplifting experience for her clients, Salon Brazyl continues to thrive as a beacon of excellence in the community.
