OUR STORY
Naturally You Tour is a new and exciting national, traveling event series conceived by celebrity hairstylist and author of Natural & Curly Hair For Dummies, Johnny Wright, to provide a safe, informative and celebratory space to share, connect and heal from the traumas that have been ingrained in us through misinformation about natural and curly hair.
It is Johnny’s mission to unpack the negative psychological and emotional implications associated with natural and curly hair that have followed and haunted many of us throughout our lives.
He’s holding space for healthy, and sometimes hard, conversations that move the needle, allow us to REALLY see one another, bridge the gaps and embrace the beauty in our differences.
ABOUT JOHNNY:
Johnny was born and raised in Chicago, IL and got his start in the hair styling world watching his grandmother do press and curls on the front porch as a child. After working his way through Chicago and then Los Angeles, he spent 8 years as Michelle Obama’s personal hairstylist during the Obama Administration. Since 2019, he’s worked as Tamron Hall’s key hairstylist on her Emmy Award winning eponymous daytime talk show and most recently co-starred in To Catch a Beautician with Tamar Braxton on Vh1. You’ll also see his work on celebrities like Queen Latifah, Kerry Washington, Tiffany Cross, Angela Rye, and Samira Wiley, to name a few. His career spans professional and artistic accolades such as creative director for SoftSheen Carson for L’Oreal, HSN appearances, brand ambassadorships, and industry awards. Johnny’s unique success is owed in part to years of mastering styling skills and precision cutting techniques as well as his business ingenuity and infectious upbeat personality.
