Her career as a stylist began upon attending and graduating respectively from Dudley Beauty College in Durham, North Carolina.  While in school gaining the necessary knowledge and tools needed, Shakira was known for her ambition and determination.  She was a part of the Dudley Junior Platform Style Team where she perfected her skills in Updo Styling and Diverse Cutting.  During her time in school, she trained under some of the industry’s finest platform artists; Patrick Bradley, Amos Jordan, Harvey Moore and Micheline Barber.  After graduating, she continued her education and was privileged to study under the tutelage of Irene and Ralph Parson; International Directors/Platform Artists (formally of Dudley Products).  This career choice birthed the desire to become an educator of her craft, traveling the world and sharing knowledge with other up and coming stylists. Having been afforded that opportunity with Soft Sheen Carson Products (a brand of L’Oreal), Shakira is an International Educator for the eastern region and throughout the US.  She has worked with celebrities and personalities such as Maria Dunbar (Spunkey from the Flava of Love – Season 2), Wendy Wiltz from America’s Next Top Model and many more.  Shakira also holds the honor of Ultima Ambassador Stylist for PRO 10 (a premiere line of human hair).

Shakira’s trendsetting drive was the fuel in her also successfully becoming the owner of several salons.  From 2000 to 2008, she opened Iconz International Hair Studio where she firmly believed in “Changing the atmosphere by shaping personalities and creating ICONZ”, and The Essence Lounge 2009 .

In 2003, Shakira was titled “Master Stylist” – winner of The Art of Hair National Styling Competition, 2005 Top Finalist in the Pro 10 Made by Ultima International Styling Competition at the Bronner Brothers Show, 2007 Milky Way Fantasy Competition Winner (Best Fantasy Make-Up Division).   Also in 2007, her work graced the stages of “The Women’s Empowerment” during the fashion show segment as she joined the style team of Tim Johnson International.

With her continued work as an educator for Soft Sheen Carson, Salon Tech, Ultima Hair and as a freelance stylist, Shakira can be seen in various and versatile settings working with photographers in the likes of Reggie Anderson, Keston Dukes, John Scot, Larry Dixon, David Hill and Dexter Cohen.
