Raq Powers
Master Stylist
An award-winning Platform Artist and International Educator, Raq Powers has spent over two decades mastering a craft that is equal parts science and art. She doesn’t follow trends, she creates them.
Raq’s signature is unmistakable custom color combinations that can’t be replicated and edges so precise they’ve become a statement of their own. From bold, fearless transformations to tailored looks built around each client’s unique lifestyle and hair goals, Raq brings a level of creativity and technical mastery that sets her apart in the industry.
In 2017, she founded Photo Ready Salon, a space where luxury, innovation, and education converge. Every client who sits in her chair receives a fully personalized experience, because Raq believes that truly great hair is never one-size-fits-all.
Beyond the chair, she is deeply committed to shaping the next generation of beauty professionals, making elite training accessible and pushing cosmetologists to own their craft and raise the standard.
We Create Photo Ready Hair.
