Letter from the Editor Dear Salysians, Do you have a favorite swimsuit?

The one you loved from the moment you put it on under the harsh lights of the dressing room?

The one that said, “You look awesome!”

Take some time, put on that swimsuit, and go to the pool, beach, some body of water and remember to enjoy life!

Meet Hair Stylist Kanika Styles How did you get started? Tell us a little about yourself.

Hair has always been a passion of mine. It’s been an interest since I was a small child. Any time anyone would let me play in their hair, I took advantage of the opportunity. I took a little detour from my dream and obtained a BS in Chemistry, and worked in the Biopharmaceutical industry. I found myself unfulfilled and realized that I had been running from my passion. As soon as my schedule and finances permitted, I attended cosmetology school at Paul Mitchell the School and have been doing what I love ever since!

Three adjectives to describe yourself.

Creative and free-spirited Quiet Goofy – in a good way Hair Artist or Hair Stylist? Why? I can appreciate both of these titles. They’re interchangeable, in my opinion.

What do you enjoy the most about being a Hair Artist/ Stylist?

I had a client cry in my chair and tell me that I made her feel beautiful, and that she hadn’t felt that way in a very long time. I love being able to make someone feel good about themselves.

I equally love being challenged to create the unconventional. There’s nothing like taking a blank canvas and constructing art.

What do you not enjoy about being a Hair Artist/Stylist?

Right now, only that I’m not able to do it full time.

Because it is my passion, I love doing it; however.

Your zodiac sign?

Pisces What zodiac sign do you get along with the most?

I’m a Pisces…we get along with everyone!

Dream vacation you would like to take (or have taken)?

There are so many places on my list to visit. So hard to choose one!! But I would love to go to the Maldives and stay in one of the underwater hotels.

What hair trend do you love?

I love the resurgence of the incorporation of braids in hairstyles.

What’s the best/worst gift you’ve ever given/received?

I think the best gifts I’ve given were for Christmas a few years ago. I dabble in jewelry making, and my aunt gave me a bunch of my late grandmother’s jewelry that she came across while cleaning out her old bedroom. I made jewelry for everyone for Christmas, incorporating pieces from my grandmother’s old jewelry, so that everyone would have a piece of her with them when they wear it.

Favorite movie?

Coming to America Favorite actor/actress?

Don Cheadle Last show you binge-watched?

Sneaky Pete and Game of Thrones. I’m finally caught up!

I CANNOT wait for the next season!

Favorite color?

Green/teal Favorite food/drink?

Pizza Speak it into existence, where do you see yourself in 5 years?

In 5 years, I will be freelancing bicoastal, with a business based in the Washington, DC area.

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Freedom to do what I please, when and where I please, and being surrounded by people I love.

SALYSÉ Magazine is a photography magazine, featuring beauty, fashion, and conceptual art editorials.

We do not seek to define beauty with one narrow idea, but with myriad viewpoints.

Vintage is right next to emerging designers, who are right next to established designers.

We are looking for creatives who push the envelope, take chances, and disregard the status quo.

SALYSÉ Magazine is about sophistication, authenticity, with a touch of eccentricity.
