terKQuois isn’t just a brand — it’s a movement. Born out of resilience, healing, and faith, terKQuois represents the journey of founder Karla Owens-Moody,MBA, DBAc, a master barber, trichologist in training, educator, and lifelong creative whose personal story shapes every product, service, and experience we offer.

Our tagline, “Spirit-Led | Intention-Driven,” is more than words. It’s the heartbeat of everything we do — from formulating natural products, to creating safe spaces for community, to educating and inspiring others to embrace grooming wellness.

Karla has worn many hats: math and business teacher, banker, sales manager, executive director, notary, mixologist, curriculum development, and now — master barber, future trichologist (hair loss and thinning scientist) and entrepreneur. At just 13, she began as a shampoo girl and hair model, setting the stage for a lifelong passion for beauty and wellness.

Major health challenges and many life-changing events reshaped her path, but instead of folding, she reinvented herself and built terKQuois. Word play derived from the stone and color turquoise that represents healing. Her love for mixology transformed into product innovation: whether it’s cocktails or conditioners, remedy teas or fragrance oils, she knows how to create something that smells good, feels good, and actually works.

Because terKQuois is bigger than products. It’s innovation meeting faith. It’s healing turned into action. It’s a brand built to help you look good, feel good, and do great things.

At its core, terKQuois is Karla’s personal mission: to turn life’s challenges into purpose, and to show others what’s possible when grooming, education, and community come together.
