Jawara first started his career as a salon assistant in Brooklyn when he was just 16. After graduating from the Fashion Institute of Technology and the Aveda Institute, Jawara moved to London and began assisting industry legends Guido Palau and Luigi Murenu on runway shows and shoots. It was after being mentored by legendary hairstylist Sam McKnight that Jawara reached the level of artistry at which he works today.
After leaving McKnight’s team in 2013, Jawara began working independently and since then his work has garnered the attention of many influential names including musical talents Cardi B, FKA Twigs and Solange. His work is also frequently featured in the pages of British Vogue, Vogue Italia, Re-edition, Dazed, i-D Magazine and W Magazine, among others.
I am so excited to be partnering with the Fekkai team, it’s always humbling to be partnering with a company that believes in making quality clean products for textured hair with a respect to our environment in mind.
