Master Educators & Community Pillars

Innovation & Expansion

We aren’t just stylists; we are creators. We formulated Shawntel Marie and Kings Solution to provide premium hair and skincare solutions. In March 2020, we expanded our reach by opening Jelani Beauty Supply Store, eventually merging it with our flagship salon into a premier community hub at 4425 Skidaway Road, Savannah, GA.
