Welcome to True North Artistry

Where your beauty leads you home.

True North Artistry is more than a hair studio — it’s a space of self-remembrance. A space where your authentic expression is not just welcomed, but deeply celebrated.

I’m Mikala — a Charlotte-based hairstylist, certified yoga instructor, and self-love guide. My work is focused on concealed bead method hair extensions, lived-in color, gray coverage, and intentional experiences designed to support all of you: mind, body, and spirit.

Inside my studio, beauty is definitely more than skin deep. Every session is an invitation to remember and reconnect with your own True North — your inner compass and your innate wholeness.

  • What does it mean to find your True North?

    It means coming home to yourself.

    It’s the knowing that you are whole, complete, and worthy — exactly as you are. It’s the place inside you where your values live, where your unique gifts rise, and where your power to navigate life with clarity is born.

    When you live from this place — from your True North — everything aligns. You lead from your truth, cultivate meaningful relationships, and move through the world with intention.

  • This salon was built to hold you — in all seasons.

    Whether you’re in a season of joy or grief, transition or celebration, this space is designed to meet you there. My approach is heart-centered, intuitive, and rooted in lived experience. With over a decade of personal healing and self-love work, I combine energetic care with technical mastery to offer more than just a service — I offer a transformational experience.

  • What you can expect:

    Intentional conversation (or quiet presence — you choose)

    Expert care in lived-in color and extensions

    A space where beauty is not about fixing — it’s about remembering

    Support that honors your full self

    The journey back home to yourself starts here.

    Welcome to your True North.
