Someone Call A Doctor, Because This Guy Just Got His Girlfriend A New Hair Salon And I'm Dead

“Imma give you the world, I promise. Take over this game, girl.”

Khyree Sharif Townes is a talented barber from Atlanta. He's only 20 years old, but already owns his own beauty and barbershop, Cut Creaters Salons. His local clientele includes celebs like Rick Ross.

Townes's parents started the Cut Creaters Salons franchise, and now they have four locations throughout Georgia and New Jersey. When the now 20-year-old barber was just 18 years old, he "invested every penny" into buying his own shop.

Khyree is obviously a business boss, so when his 17-year-old girlfriend Maia also decided to pursue a career in hair, he surprised her with her very own beauty shop.

"It's been a hard-ass year for my girl," Khyree wrote in his Instagram caption. "She started doing frontal [wigs] thanks to her brother, and today I surprised her with her first shop."

He also said people should get ready for Maia's second shop coming next year. "I love you," he wrote. "Imma give you the world, I promise. Take over this game, girl. You not even18 yet and got 9 stations🤑. They gone hate you even more."

Maia also took to Instagram to show off her glitzy new spot, Koca's Beauty Bar, which features neon purple lighting and lots and lots of glitter.

"My FIRST nine chair shop and I couldn't do it without Khyree," she wrote. "You've pushed me and motivated me so much, no matter what anyone else said or what anyone else thought. You always had faith in me. You knew I could do it; you told me I would. When NO ONE was there, you were and you never gave up on me."

This Badass Mom Slayed TF Outta Her Client's Hair While Balancing Her Daughter On Her Lap

“A mom’s gotta do what a mom’s gotta do.”

Meet Melek Ustunluk of Clifton, New Jersey. She's a braiding wizard who runs a successful beauty shop and has celeb clients like Travis Scott and Allen "Cornrow King" Iverson. She's also a kickass mom who's literally mastered that whole work-life balance thing:

As if being a multitasking mama weren't enough, Melek's one hell of a business boss. In 2013, she decided to pursue her professional braiding dreams with only $27 to her name.

@mimisbraids / Via instagram.com

"My mom normally watches my daughter Capella, but couldn't take care of her that day," Melek told BuzzFeed. "I couldn't cancel my appointments, so I decided to bring her with me."

"My mom normally watches my daughter Capella, but couldn't take care of her that day," Melek told BuzzFeed. "I couldn't cancel my appointments, so I decided to bring her with me."

Apparently, the 15-month-old cutie is really shy and sometimes "only wants Mommy," so Melek asked her client if he'd mind if she held Capella while braiding his hair. "He was really cool about it," she said. "That's what I love about my clients. They understand that I'm a mom first and a business owner second."

And in case you were wondering how the client's hair turned out...

"That's why I [wrote the] caption, 'Mom's got to do what a Mom's got to do'," she said. "Sometimes we may miss a few steps, but us mothers make sure we climb to the top. If you have a dream, keep working towards it and never let anyone or anything stop you."

They learned that dehydrated hair means tighter curls, and more moisture in your hair means looser curls. A-ha!

Pro-Tip: When washing your hair, warm water is better than hot because hot water is more likely to dry out your hair.

A big question was how can you retain the moisture in your hair without having to wash it like two to three times a week? Like this:

And when you do wash, the curl pros suggest avoiding shampoo that has sulfate, which is detergent. It strips your hair of its natural oils and dries it out, which is no bueno.

When it was time to detangle, the curl stylists suggested dividing Tristan's hair into sections and massaging it, before detangling the strands starting at the root.
