ABOUT ATOYA PROJECT 1248 LEARN MY METHOD

Shortly after having my son, Jlo had just released a new album and the haircut on that cover was going to change my life.

I took every picture from the CD cover, put on my maroon velour jumpsuit and headed to a salon in the Valley.

This wasn’t just any salon. This was an expensive salon with well trained stylist.

fully trusted that I would leave that salon feeling like a new woman. My best friend later joked that I half expected Ben Affleck to pick me up. (If you don’t really get that, just google “Bennifer”)

That was almost 20 years ago and now I know that it didn’t work because a haircut cannot magically turn you into Jlo. 

More importantly…Waves and Curls are unique.

I’ve devoted the last 7 years to the study of wavy and curly hair because I’ve been that lady devastated by a bad haircut.

 

I believe great things are born out of needs.

I saw a need in the curly community and built a brand with intent and purpose to help.

Now, I’m teaching others how to do the exact same thing.

Business and brand building is a lot like curls. 

 

It doesn’t have to be complicated.

Think of me as the minimalist of this movement.

Simplicity is at the heart of everything I do.

I’m so happy you are here.

Love,

PROJECT 1248

 

 

It is not uncommon for us to gift someone a free service when we have felt inspired by their story. 
 
Two causes that are near and dear to me are cancer survivors and mothers of special needs children.
 
My mother passed away of breast cancer at the age of 52 and every time I am able to bless a survivor...It's in honor of her.  
 
Years ago, I was involved in support groups with special needs kids and worked specifically with children with autism.
 
Let me tell you...these moms are my true heroes. 
 
Now, my grandson has autism and this community has stolen my heart. 
 
We feel blessed to be in a position where we are able to offer a small token of love to someone in this beautiful curly tribe of ours.
