Najamoniq Todd uses a razor to cut a longer-looking style into Gavin Drummond’s hair.
Supernova Hair and Tattoo hair designer Najamoniq Todd knows Tacoma. And she knows hair.
The two will combine for her this weekend when she helps Jason Ganwich by doing all of the hair for his upcoming zombie movie shoot, and then when she does the same for a photo shoot project called “Glam fantasies from Rock and Roll.”
Originally from Oakland, Todd’s been a Tacoma resident for over a decade and loves her vantage of the city in the hair and tattoo salon Supernova, which has been open just under a year. After some community college for business classes, Todd knew where her heart was and got into cosmetology, finishing up her education with time at the Gene Juarez advanced course. Her advice to prospective hair artists is “get your cosmetology license anywhere, save $10,000; then go to the advanced course.”
Advice for prospective clients: While Todd says she will cut you into a faux-hawk with a tail or give you big ’80s rocker hair, she says, “I will not cut a mullet.”
Her hot new hair tip: “Steps are the new thing. I love steps.” â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
