I’m Joshea—“Josh” like Joshua and “Shea” like Shea Butter—the founder and creative force behind Essentially J’adore, a luxury lifestyle brand devoted to what is truly essential to the health, wealth, and beauty of mankind.​ As owner, stylist, and an author, I curate elevated experiences through beauty, storytelling, and thoughtful design. Every offering is created with intention, artistry, and a deep respect for individuality.

 

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature from the University of Michigan–Ann Arbor, an education that ignited a lifelong passion for knowledge, refinement, and creative expression. That foundation continues to shape my work—infusing each product, service, and written piece with depth, meaning, and purpose.

​

Innovation has always been part of who I am. What began as creative exploration in childhood has evolved into a brand rooted in inspiration, confidence, and global impact. Through luxury hair services, inspired writing, and curated essentials, my mission is to empower others to embrace beauty as both an experience and a state of being.

​

Whether you connect with me through a personalized appointment, my books, or the world of Essentially J’adore, know that you are engaging with a brand built on excellence, integrity, and intention. And yes—should you ever catch me on Family Feud, just know I bring that same poise and quick wit everywhere I go.

Thank you for being here.

This is only the beginning.
