Get ready to meet the newest star shining at Vasuda Salon in Kent, WA! We're thrilled to introduce Mekilit Bezu, affectionately known as Meki, a stylist whose journey into hair is as rich and beautiful as the styles she creates. Meki isn't just joining our team; she's continuing a powerful legacy of passion and artistry that's literally in her DNA.

Meki's story with hair began long before she even dreamed of holding a comb professionally. Imagine growing up surrounded by the rhythmic buzz of clippers and the sweet scent of salon products! With two now-retired barbers as parents and generations of hairdressers on both sides of her family, Meki practically had hair care whispered to her in her sleep. Weekday afternoons after school were spent soaking in the magic of her parents' shops, absorbing their love for the craft without realizing she'd one day follow in their footsteps.
While she initially explored other paths, earning a degree from The Evergreen State College with a focus on Sociology and African American Studies, her deep-seated love for people and care work remained her guiding star. Her compassion led her to volunteer in shelters and rehabilitation centers during a study abroad program in Ethiopia – an experience that profoundly shaped her purpose. She even worked in the medical field as a nursing assistant and Med Tech, always putting others first.
But as fate would have it, her calling led her back to her roots. With a little nudge from her loved ones, Meki enrolled at Evergreen Beauty College in Renton. And guess what? She even trained under April Purcell, now her fantastic colleague right here at Vasuda! It was there that Meki truly fell head over heels for mastering skills she never expected to love so much – like the transformative power of perms, precision haircuts, and intricate loc retwists. The joy these services brought her, and the confidence they ignited in her clients, was undeniable.
Why You'll Love Meki & Her Magic Touch!
Meki brings a powerhouse of skills and a thoughtful touch to every single client. Beyond her newly mastered techniques, she has a strong foundation in essential services like expert braiding, silky smooth silk presses, and flawless root touch-ups. She's not just a stylist; she's an artist who blends her rich cultural legacy, professional growth, and a genuine love for community into every service.
As Meki beautifully puts it: "Hair is our crown, I just help people wear it with pride."
