Bio for Naeemah Johnson
Naeemah didn't always know that she wanted to do hair as a young child. She was more interested in what the dolls where wearing then what their hair looked like. While attending Dobbins High School in Philadelphia, Naeemah took several service-based courses like baking, restaurant management, fashion design, and cosmetology. The thrill of fashion design quickly blew over when she couldn't sew a pincushion. Baking and restaurant management didn't suit her either. After taking the theory course on cosmetology she quickly became interested in the components of hair.
That interest has now grown into a full-blown passion and Naeemah has blossomed to become a multi-faceted stylist and entrepreneur. Her skills as a stylist and businesswoman have been in demand among notable professionals in the hair and entertainment industries.
