Charniece Lang began her beauty journey with a clear passion for natural hair, braiding, and serving clients from home. What started as a skill quickly became a calling, one that continued to evolve as she entered Beautiful Luxe School of Cosmetology in 2022.

As a student at BLSC, Charniece elevated her foundation as a natural hair braider and expanded her technical abilities, professional confidence, and industry exposure. Early in her studies, she was selected as one of the few students in both her school and the state to receive the Sephora Scholarship, earning $7,500 toward her education along with a paid internship. This recognition served as an early milestone that helped propel her journey and affirm her place in the beauty industry.

Throughout her time at BLSC, Charniece explored new areas of natural hair care and styling beyond braids, gaining hands-on experience that opened doors to working in salon environments, on a movie set, and with celebrities and entertainers throughout the Metro Detroit area. Each opportunity contributed to her growth as a stylist and strengthened her professional presence.
