As a highly skilled, extensively trained Master Cosmetologist with over twenty years of experience behind the chair, Lakia Diggs’ The Kia Xperience, LLC takes her passion for hair far beyond creating innovative styles for her recurring clientele in New York, the DMV area, and Atlanta. Her work has also been featured in New York Fashion Week, for brands like Vogue, Essence, BET, BravoTV, and for designers like LaQuan Smith, Sergio Hudson, Romeo Hunte, Roberto Cavalli, Oscar de la Renta, and Jeremy Scott to name a few. She has styled celebrities like DeWanda Wise, TS Madison, Wendy Osefo, Chrissy Lampkin, Ming Lee Simmons, Kayla Nicole, and our Vice President Kamala Harris.
Using innovative techniques for weave installation, precision cutting, and advanced custom coloring, Lakia is well versed in the styling and care of all hair types and textures. Yet, she also works continuously to perfect her craft through continuing education coursework, discovering new ways to empower women through haircare products and services.
With an inside-out approach to healthy hair, she is a certified Pravana Colorist, and aspiring to complete her certification in Trichology, making her a specialist in the health, and treatment of hair and scalp conditions. Ever the entrepreneur, she used this knowledge to develop the TKX Hair Follicle Stimulant Drops, her own line of premium hair extensions, Bundles From Mary, featuring a diverse assortment of human hair textures and densities from a variety of origins that blend flawlessly with many hair types, and her wig unit line, The Peruca Collection. Lakia is also a desairologist, better known as a mortuary cosmetologist…where she provides hair and make-up services for the deceased.
As an advocate for business owners and the cosmetology industry as a whole, Lakia is an instructor for burgeoning hairstylists, educating them on the levels of hair care, business management, client retention, state board exam refreshing, and branding. Additionally, she serves as a member and State Captain of the Maryland branch of the Professional Beauty Association.
Through her commitment to the artistry of cosmetology, her benevolence, and strong business acumen, Lakia Diggs continues to grow as a leader in the industry.
