For Talesa, hair has always been more than just style—it’s heritage, artistry, and wellness combined. Her journey began in her grandmother’s home beauty salon, where she fell in love with the craft and the community that flourished around it.
In 2010, She became a licensed cosmetologist, and just two years later she launched her first salon, Kompliments Hair Studio. That vision has since evolved into Poised & Cultured, a private beauty lounge dedicated to luxury haircare and long-term hair health.
Talesa holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Central Oklahoma, a foundation that has strengthened both her professionalism and her ability to merge creativity with business acumen.
Her artistry has been showcased in photo shoots, runway shows, and countless bridal parties—yet her favorite moments are the intimate ones: seeing a client’s confidence shine the moment they look in the mirror.
She believes healthy hair begins with a healthy body and mind. That’s why she is committed to educating her clients, creating personalized care plans, and addressing the deeper factors that affect hair health—like nutrition and scalp wellness. Currently she is working toward her Nutritional Certification, with future plans to become a Certified Licensed Trichologist.
After stepping away during the 2020 pandemic to raise her family, She returned to the salon with a renewed purpose: to provide an elevated, intentional experience that not only creates beautiful hair but also nurtures lasting confidence and holistic health.
