Behind the Chair

Founded in 2015, by Japonica Wright, Hush Hair Care, LLC was founded on a foundation of female empowerment, style and beauty. 

Japonica’s journey to Hush Hair Care started on the campus of Howard University. While successfully pursuing an Advertising Degree, Japonica discovered her true passion for styling hair while helping her friends with their daily looks. Known for their popular homecoming activities, the ladies of Howard wanted to look like Beyonce, (but with a college budget). After noticing how difficult it was becoming to find someone who could both handle their hair with care and give them the stylish looks that made them stand out from the crowd,  Japonica stepped in and became a true hair boss on campus. Giving her clients the confidence and self esteem to walk in any room with confidence gave Japonica the motivation she needed to start her own business. 

At the young age of 24, Japonica and her partner Rikya Taylor opened their first salon in Smyrna, Ga. As a celebrity stylist, Wright has been honored to work with clients such as the Braxtons, Kandi Burruss, and Toya Wright. Her work has been seen in multiple networks such as BET, WE TV, and Bravo. Japonica’s journey to Hush Hair Care is an ongoing reminder of the strength we embody as women to continue to fulfill our passion.

Japonica's mission with Hush Hair Care is not only to empower women and girls to differentiate themselves from the rest, but give them the motivation they need to feel confident and beautiful on the inside and out. 

As women we are enough. Strong enough. Intelligent. And together we can face the world.
