Art of Hair Coloring – $5,000
Sierra’s approach to hairstyling is inspired by nature, family and popular culture, but always by her experiences as a “curly girl.” Not content to settle with the basics, Sierra believes in lifelong education. “I want to learn what I don’t know – and help others learn to love their own curls,” she says. Upon finishing her program, Sierra wants to create a safe haven for curly hair types who don’t want to resort to “the big chop.” “I’ve learned so much and I’m looking forward to giving back,” she says.
