My History
After decades of hard knocks, Dakima Hicks is swinging back in a fashion of her own design...The 35-year-old single mother of five weathered a rocky childhood, marriage and impulsive life decisions, one of which landed her temporarily homeless on Las Vegas streets..."I wanted a better life," she said.
Introduction to Dakima Maria Brand
Traveling down the Sola Salon hallway takes clients directly to Dakima Maria Makeover Studios. They are then met with inspirational quotations, mannequins in Dakima Maria originals, display cases lined with branded makeup and Dakima Hicks herself who is often sporting stylish thick-framed glasses, athleisure as she’s likely en route to the airport and welcoming eyes above her protective face mask.
At 14 years old, Dakima – professionally known by a combination of her first and middle name, Dakima Maria – styled people’s hair in order to eat. Having lived through a difficult childhood, troubling marriage and temporary period of homelessness, Dakima was led to where she is today as the entrepreneur behind her personal, self-titled brand.
