Innovative, multi-faceted, and passionate about her artistry, Monteria Chisholm, more affectionately known as Tookie, is a beauty entrepreneur who’s had an affinity for all things hair and fashion since she can remember. Determined to unite the two worlds, Tookie began to incorporate the best parts of fashion into her journey as a hair stylist, making it evident that the Tookie Did It experience is far more than hair care; it is soul care! Because of this, Tookie can connect with and serve clients for over a decade.

Born and raised in Gainesville, Florida, Tookie understands the value of southern hospitality and family, and her clients feel that from beginning to end. No matter who you are or which hairstyle you choose, you will leave feeling better than you came. Like fashion, hair expresses who you are, how you feel, and how you choose to show up in the world. If you want to look and feel good, there’s no person better to collaborate with than Tookie.

Tookie’s artistic reach has expanded beyond the salon and into the entertainment industry. She has provided services from the dressing rooms of award shows to the home of some of your favorite influencers. For many, this would alter the client experience, but not for Tookie. It has made her even more determined to stay true to her southern roots while bringing that same 5-star experience and ambiance into her salon.
