Growth is Our Legacy

Joy Woodson is a pioneer in natural hair care, a celebrity stylist, and a trusted authority in her industry. She began mastering natural textures in 1995, long before the natural hair movement became trendy. In 2009 she established 7 Degrees Natural Hair Studio, a Houston landmark where clients know their hair is in expert hands.

​

As a master natural hair stylist, Joy doesn’t just style hair. She sets standards. Her specialties include braids, twists, cornrows, extensions, locs, protective styles, and chemical-free straightening. From intricate artistry to flawless finishing, her work proves that natural hair is limitless when placed in the right hands.

​

Her artistry has graced Grammy stages, music videos, and iconic album covers, with recognition in Essence Magazine, Tre Magazine, The Defender, and by the NAACP for her transformative impact on culture and community.

​

For decades, Joy has watched the beauty industry exploit natural hair, shifting from relaxers to “nature-inspired” labels like honey soufflé or “butter cream,” and even rebranding relaxer companies just to capitalize on the millions embracing their natural textures. Frustrated with gimmicks and products that lacked real nourishment, Joy spent years formulating an oil that actually caters to what natural hair needs: strength, moisture retention, balance, and growth.

​

After using this oil on her clients for years with transformative results, Joy is excited to finally share it with the world. 

 

As both the Founder of 7 Degrees Natural Hair Studio and Pocket Full of Stones™ Crystal Shop, and the Creator of Joy Drops Vital Growth Oil, she brings decades of expertise into every venture, ensuring that with each bottle, people everywhere can experience a little drop of Joy.

 

Known for her transformative touch and visionary leadership, Joy’s mission is clear: to deliver luxury, result driven care from a name clients can trust; not a trend, but a legacy.
