True North Artistry is more than a brand — it’s a mirror.
A reflection of self-love, empowerment, and artistry in all its forms.
Who I Am
I’m Mikala — a hairstylist of 18+ years whose work has always gone deeper than hair.
Working behind the chair, I have learned that what people are really seeking isn’t just beauty, it’s recognition. To see themselves clearly. To feel at home in who they are becoming.
My own path has been shaped by real-life experiences: shadow work, self-acceptance, and learning to trust my body’s distinct knowing. These experiences inform everything I do — whether I’m installing Concealed Beaded Row extensions, creating space for reflection through ELEVATED, or working with clients in mentorship.
My work isn’t about choosing one identity or lane.
It’s about honoring the truth that we are multifaceted beings and that our outer expression can become a powerful mirror of inner alignment.
The Heart of True North
True North Artistry is the home for everything I create — past, present, and evolving.
It’s more than hair. More than mentorship. More than apparel.
It’s the thread that weaves together my artistry, my lived wisdom, and my devotion to self-love. Every offering here is rooted in authenticity, integrity, and alignment — created as a space where reflection is possible, and where people often begin to recognize themselves more clearly.
What does it mean to find your True North?
It often feels like coming home to yourself.
It’s the moment when reflection brings clarity — when you begin to see yourself as whole, worthy, and complete, even in the parts that once felt uncertain or hidden. It’s where shadows soften into teachers, and self-trust starts to take root.
From this place, choices become cleaner. You move with more integrity, love with more courage, and express yourself with a steadiness that feels true.
