A couple weekends ago I had the pleasure of covering the No Shade Hair & Entertainment Expo presented by Red Kat Salon. Let me just start off by saying this event was amazing, it had all the elements for a GRAND event. The event took place at De Ja Vu restaurant and lounge in Newport News, VA. The entire venue was filled with natural hair, fashion entertainers, vendors and much more.
The event was host by radio personality J-Rod( @jtalk100), he is pictured above with the special guest for the night Aevin Dugas(www.aevindugas.com) who currently holds the Guinness book world record for the largest afro.
Pictured above is Renee owner of Red Kat Salon and creator of No Shade Hair and entertainment expo. Renee was looking to bring Hampton Roads an elite event that included entertainment, expert panel, giveaways, vendors and an amazing atmosphere. Renee definitely has the vision to make this event annual, and I would have to agree with her.
Some of the artist that performed pictured below:
Songtress Vannessa Blanco Spoken word artist, Yolanda Bibbs
Rapper MoeLew, pictured left HipHopJazz artist, Frederick Reid
Boutique Crush as also in the building, showcasing some of their latest trends.

It was a pleasure to learn about the journey of Aevin Dugas. Her and her fro are taking over one beauty at a time. She was extremely humble and think most would have been surprised to hear about her wash regime and products she liked to use. She is a true testament that if you take care of your hair, it will take care of you!
This event truly left you wanting more, I would definitely encourage Red Kat Salon to make this even annual and even take it on the road.
