Ambra Jordan and Leandres Christopher

Knot-ed curates a monthly subscription box, the Knot-Box, filled with all of the products, tools, accessories, tutorials, AND HAIR, needed to complete 2-3 protective styles from the comfort of your home.

We started the company because we were frustrated with the process of finding and sourcing quality hair products or locating stylists that could actually do our hair.

In our attempt to solve this problem for ourselves, we realized that we could do so on a much larger scale, in a way that other consumers like us and our community could benefit from.

Our mission is to make quality haircare accessible to Black women all across the U.S. (and eventually the world). Our goal is to do this while
promoting Black-owned and women-owned businesses; companies that are
created by the individuals who face these problems, but are also doing something about it!

We believe clean beauty and wellness should be accessible to ALL people
and we want to set the standard for what clean beauty truly is and help
educate consumers so they feel empowered when making personal care and beauty purchases.  

I host events and panels throughout NYC as well as offer a service called #CLEANbeautyedit IRL where I personally do an audit of your beauty and personal care and make recommendations of a cleaner alternative.

Lisa Price

In 1993, encouraged by my mother, Carol, I began creating high-quality products made with love in my Brooklyn kitchen.

As family and friends experienced how these products transformed their hair and skin, I knew that I was onto something good.

I needed a name for my company, so I made a list of everything I was and everything I wanted to be, and I realized that the most special thing that I am is Lisa, Carol’s Daughter.
