Tomika Luster

My name is Tomika Luster, born at Ft. Campbell KY and raised in Clarksville, I can truly say this is my home town. I am a graduate from Northwest High School, Austin Beauty, QCC and Miller Motte Technical with an associate in Medical Assistant, but my love will always be hair.

 

Now I’m a licensed cosmetologist, instructor and salon owner in the state of Tennessee with hands-on professional experience in cosmetology and customer service. This career path has opened up so many doors for me from working hair shows, celebrity events, product lines, and tv shows, to being the co-owner of Trotter Luster Academy- the 1st “virtual” natural hair school in Clarksville, TN. Where our goal is to help you accomplish and achieve your dreams.
