Key Hairstylists:

Alisha D. King, a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, says it’s easy to be tempted to give up on a goal, prayer or desire when it seems as if the answer isn’t coming as quickly as you would like. Alisha D. King enthusiasm started with flipping burgers, chicken buffet, retail clothing, some college and even attended nursing school. As she battled her way through the darkest hours just before the dawn, she discovered as a faith-filled believer to hope even more in God. Alisha’s gratification appeared when she realized God is faithful to his promises. As a hairstylist, make-up artist and cosmetology instructor at Imagine Paul Mitchell Hair Academy, she discovered her true passion. Along the way her enthusiasm led to a member of Arkansas Hair Artistry Association (AHAA), cuts and styles for children and teens at Arkansas Easter Seals.This career path includes positive attitude, constructive criticism, aggressive efforts and a successful outcome to welcome new challenges. Alisha’s metaphor is: Maintain your God given beauty. 501-398-4545 aa2davis@yahoo.com
