Lazhane Hightower, founder of Hair By Nay 24/7, embodies a lifelong passion for hair and a dedication to healthy hair care. Her business name reflects her unwavering commitment to her craft—hair, all the time. Lazhane discovered her talent for hairstyling at just 13 years old, turning her skills into a source of income. Starting her journey in a small room at her grandmother’s house, Lazhane balanced high school and hairstyling, laying the foundation for her future career. After experimenting with other jobs that didn’t align with her creative and entrepreneurial spirit, Lazhane found her true calling in cosmetology. Following graduation, she not only mastered hairstyling but also pursued a certification in Trichology, the study of hair and scalp health. This unique expertise sets her apart, as she offers clients education and personalized guidance on their healthy hair journey.
Lazhane's dedication to her craft and her clients has earned her industry recognition, including a spot on the prestigious Traackr Top 25 US Hair Care Influencers list in 2024. Today, she is a high-demand cosmetologist who collaborates with major brands like OLAPLEX, amika, and K18. Her journey from a shy teen to a world-traveling professional is a testament to her resilience and dedication to her craft.
