We had the good fortune of connecting with Riah B and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Riah, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?
Impeccable attention to detail, relentless passion for creativity, and an insatiable hunger for staying ahead of trends. Every client receives VIP treatment, ensuring they leave feeling like the star they are. It’s not just about coloring hair; it’s about crafting unforgettable moments and empowering individuals to shine from the inside out!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art is more than just hair coloring; it’s a canvas for self-expression and empowerment. What sets me apart is my unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and creating transformative experiences for my clients. I take pride in my ability to translate their vision into reality, whether it’s for a big event or a personal transformation. Getting to where I am today professionally has been a journey fueled by passion, perseverance, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. It hasn’t been easy – there were times when the challenges seemed insurmountable. But each obstacle became an opportunity for growth and learning. I overcame them by staying true to my vision, and embracing failure as a stepping stone to success.
The lessons I’ve learned along the way are invaluable. I’ve learned the importance of adaptability, resilience, and continuous self-improvement. I’ve learned to trust my instincts, take calculated risks, and never settle for mediocrity.
What I want the world to know about me and my brand is that it’s not just about hair; it’s about elevating confidence, self-esteem, and individuality. My story is a testament to the transformative power of self-belief and hard work. I want to inspire others to pursue their passions fearlessly and unapologetically, knowing that with dedication and perseverance, anything is possible.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
“When it comes to showing my friends the best of LA, there are a few places that are absolute must-visits. Firstly, The Griddle Cafe is a breakfast haven known for its enormous, mouthwatering pancakes and cozy atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to start the day off right. Next, Barton G restaurant offers an exquisite dining experience with innovative cuisine and a vibrant ambiance that never disappoints. In addition to these favorites, I’d also recommend taking a stroll down the iconic Venice Beach Boardwalk, where you can soak in the eclectic vibe, catch some street performers, and indulge in delicious street food. For a taste of LA’s vibrant nightlife, head to The Rooftop at The Standard Downtown LA for breathtaking views of the city skyline and refreshing cocktails.
Finally, no visit to LA would be complete without exploring the Getty Center, an architectural masterpiece nestled in the hills of Brentwood. Not only does it offer stunning art collections and breathtaking gardens, but it also provides panoramic views of the city that are truly unforgettable.
These are just a few of my top picks for showing off the best of LA to visiting friends, each offering its own unique charm and experiences that capture the essence of this vibrant city.

In reflecting on my journey, I believe I am the primary catalyst for my success.

Growing up in challenging circumstances instilled in me a strong sense of self-reliance and resilience, which became the driving force behind my pursuit of excellence in the hair industry. Completing my education, interning at a salon, and relentlessly pursuing my passion were all fueled by my unwavering belief in myself and my abilities. While acknowledging the importance of support systems, I am proud to credit myself for the dedication and perseverance that have brought me to where I am today.
