When it comes to dominating the  British fashion and entertainment industry, Ghanaians in the UK seem to be ahead of the game. From Edward Enninful, Joe Casely Hayford, Adjoah Aboah and Oswald Boateng, the success of Ghanaians in the UK is undisputed.

One woman who joins in the dominating clan is celebrity hairstylist Charlotte Mensah who has become Britain’s undefeated celebrity hairstylist known for her magic fingers when it comes to both natural and permed hair.

In November 2018, Mensah became the first black woman to be inducted into the British Hairdressing Hall of Fame. The prestigious induction came after she was awarded the UK’s best Afro Hairdresser of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards in 2013, 2014 and 2017 respectively.

Described by Vogue as the as a leader in the natural haircare movement in the UK, Mensah is a hairstylist to several stars across the world, including Chimamanda Adichie, Erykah Badu, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Janelle Monae, Eve, Tessa Thompson and several others. She has also been a natural hair activist since 2000, encouraging black women to embrace and display their natural curls.
