We had the good fortune of connecting with Tacoy Tunstull and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Tacoy, how do you think about risk?
Though risk has its pros and cons, I would say that it can be a healthy attribute. Speaking for myself, it has allowed me to get out of my comfort zone mentally and physically. You will never know unless you try, so I believe that, at times, you have to take a leap of faith!! With risk there can be reward and I am thankful that some of my risk taking has paid off!

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
There are many facets that keep me busy professionally, starting with the creation of my product line and maintaining the success of T2 Spritz &T2 Glitz finishing agents, which is a non-greasy formula giving hair volume, light hold and shine. It is one accomplishment I am seriously proud of. Next is owning a salon for a time and having such great success that it propelled me into celebrity hairstyling and styling for fashion shows. Along with that, having an events company. This has afforded me the opportunity to implement my decorative expertise for celebrity events and to work with other well known celebrity event planners. Also, being contracted to style for cinema, video productions, reality television and brand campaigns. Thriving in these creative spaces has truly kept me very busy!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I’m big on celebrating life! My itinerary would consist of eating at some the amazing restaurants in the Atalnta area, drinks at some of Atlanta’s best hot spots where there is that fun yet, mature relaxed vibe and shopping in places that offer unique art, clothing, jewelry and so on. As for just hanging out, possibly the mall, maybe taking walks in serene areas and just simply sharing the places and spaces that bring me joy and peace.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
First and foremost, I am a true believer in God so all the recognition goes to HIM in every way! Practically speaking, team work makes the dream work and for that, I would definitely give some credit to a strong team of people who have supported and continue to support me and my T2 brand. My line of support runs far and wide and because I don’t want to leave anyone out, I would say they know who they are and I am grateful for each and everyone of them!
