“My team and I have received literally hundreds of DMs and emails about hairstyling services at Aesthetics Salon,” Yamtew wrote on Instagram. She shared that while she may not be available, her team is happy to help, and in the post, she leaves instructions on how her new fans can book an appointment.
The 2015 grad of Arlington’s Marymount University owns Aesthetics Salon at 2444 26th Road S., near the Glebe Road exit of I-395.
Damatew was one of a number of Black entrepreneurs, along with Hudson and Christy Rilling who designed the couple’s masks, that Obama has continuously sought to highlight.
Thank you all for the love this morning. It s an honor to be on Mrs. Obama s team. #HairByYeneDamtewpic.twitter.com/KmqKVJ6Q3d
But Damtew has worked with the former First Lady for more than a decade, having also styled her hair during her time in the White House and for best-selling 2018 memoir, “Becoming.”

Michelle Obama was a joy to many Black women to behold on Inauguration Day as her bouncy locks was styled and coiffed to perfection. Black women are often called to task for having messy hair because it is generally more difficult to style Black hair. So Michelle s envy-generating style made Twitter sit up and notice, especially since it was such a stark contrast to her messy updo in 2017 when she was leaving the White House and had the task of welcoming Melania Trump as the new FLOTUS into the White House.
