Wig icon Tokyo Stylez tells us his product must-haves and Cardi B’s most outrageous hair requests
If you ever scrolled down your Instagram feed for hair inspiration, you’ve probably come across bold colors and cuts from celebrity trendsetters such as Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Kylie Jenner, Lil Kim, Rihanna, Teyana Taylor, and the list goes on. The common thread between our faves and their forever evolving hair is none other than celebrity hairstyle stylist and wig slayer, Tokyo Stylez. From Beyonce’s Lil Kim-inspired wigs to all of Cardi B’s picturesque rainbow-colored locks, Tokyo Stylez has claimed a permanent spot in our hearts and on our timelines. Over the years, Tokyo has gone from modeling his creations on the ‘gram to having his star-studded clientele showing off his work. If that’s not #goals, we don’t know what is.
Beautycon partnered with Shea Moisture in celebration of the 5th anniversary of the beauty festival, hosting The Beauties, an exclusive event honoring six change-makers who have used social media to inspire the masses.
Among the honorees was Tokyo Stylez. Tokyo is a genius when it comes to creating showstopping wigs that push limits and makes you ask, “what wig?” (Honestly, they’re that flawless.) We could seriously credit the world’s newfound obsession with wigs and eccentric hair to Tokyo and his trendsetting clientele. It’s also worth mentioning that his confidence and perseverance as a stylist has inspired millions of people. Tokyo is proof of how hard work and being unapologetically you will pay off in the long run.
