About
Charita, aka “Shine J®” was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. Charita began “doing hair” in High School, practicing this form of art on family and friends. Like most stylists, her knowledge and skills were cultivated in the kitchen; gas stoves, Marcel irons, grease and hot combs! Shine J® visited Georgia most summers and as a teenager she would work for a very talented cosmetologist. While working in a professional hair salon she'd learn the business aspect of owning and operating a salon.
Immediately after graduating high school, she moved to Stone Mountain, GA. She had a brief, successful career in corporate America but entrepreneurship continued to call to her. She pursued a career as a master cosmetologist to afford her the flexibility of raising her son, JaeSean (the “J” in Shine J!). She attended cosmetology school and became a Master Cosmetologist. She now has over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry and specializes in natural hair care. Shine loves doing styles such as: Two-Strand Twists, Locs, Braids, Silk press, Updo’s, and her famous Straw/Flexi-rod Sets.
Shine has a passion for learning and sharing her knowledge. Her love for business led her to pursue and earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration in 2016. Working as a full time cosmetologist and attending college full time, she began to develop her vision for the Shine J Academy. After graduating, Shine opened her own salon and tripled her income(Cha Ching baby)! Now she wants to share her knowledge with you so that you can possible do the same.
As an advocate for growth and a strong desire to help others achieve personal & professional success, Shine decided to create "The Shine J Academy."
