What is the Ashley Marie Amino Straightening System?

Think of it as a long-lasting frizz-control treatment that strengthens the hair while temporarily loosening the curl pattern.” 

An Amino Straightening System is a heat-activated smoothing treatment that uses amino acids to reduce frizz, soften curls, and improve manageability for up to 6-12 weeks.

It smooths the cuticle without permanently breaking the hair’s natural bonds, leaving hair shinier, stronger, and easier to style.

Instructor Tamika Gibson

Tamika Gibson is a recognized beauty influencer and educator, beautifying the world one wig at a time. Born and raised in Flint Michigan, Tamika Gibson thought she was going to be a school teacher. While studying elementary education at Western Michigan University, Tamika looked around the classroom one day and realized that while the other students were excited about becoming school teachers, she was not. At this point Tamika took a detour.

Tamika joined the military where she served as a Sergeant in the U.S. Army and slayed her fellow soldiers with wraps, waves, and wigs. She actually credits the military with preparing her to be the successful entrepreneur that she is today. She says that the discipline and punctuality required by the military have become habits that have set her apart in the beauty industry, and helped her maintain and grow a lucrative business that has allowed her to retire (from styling) at the age of forty.

While Tamika has retired from styling hair on a day to day basis, she is still very much involved in the beauty business. She is a highly sought after instructor of the next generation of stylists and entrepreneurs. In her classes she makes it a point to teach students about the importance of financial planning as well as the best techniques for installing frontals. She makes sure that her students understand that the beauty business can be very financially rewarding if you plan accordingly and approach it as a profession…not a side hustle.
