Growing Up and Starting Out

When Tokyo was young, her mother was away for a time. Tokyo lived with her father and younger sister. She started helping by styling her sister's hair for school every day.

By the time she was 15, Tokyo was very good at doing hair. People in her neighborhood started paying her to style their hair. High school students, both boys and girls, wanted her to do their hair. Family friends and relatives also asked for her help. Tokyo was very happy to show her mother how successful she had become when her mother returned home.

Becoming a Hair Star

Tokyo first became known for doing hair extensions. These are pieces of hair added to make hair longer or fuller. But soon, she started making wigs instead. Her first celebrity client was Tamar Braxton.

It wasn't long before Kylie Jenner found Tokyo on Instagram. Kylie loved Tokyo's work, and soon Tokyo was making wigs for her. This made Tokyo's career grow very quickly! Tokyo has also worked with famous makeup artist Hrush Achemyan. She also collaborated with hairstylist Jen Atkin.

Amazing Wigs!

Before she became famous, Tokyo made a special wig for a high school friend. This friend was battling cancer and needed a wig for her prom. Tokyo and her team made the wig, delivered it, and styled it for her. After this, Tokyo started making wigs for a friend's cancer charity. Many people wanted to buy these wigs. So, Tokyo began making them for her own clients.

Tokyo only uses real human hair for her wigs. She tries on almost every wig she makes. This makes sure the wig is comfortable and looks great. Some of her wigs for celebrities and models can cost around $3,000!
