I’ve started this post over and over because I genuinely don’t know what to say.
Dom was brilliance personified.
I knew him through Keya, and every single time I had the privilege of being in his presence, I was in awe of him. His talent was extraordinary, but somehow that wasn’t even the most remarkable thing about him. He was kind. He was humble. He was generous with what he knew. And he had this presence that you simply couldn’t teach.
Watching him work and teach was something special. He understood hair on a level that made you want to shut up, pay attention and learn everything you could from him.
The last time I saw Dom, we talked and laughed and hugged. I had no idea it would be the last time. I’m having a really hard time wrapping my head around that.
I am so grateful that Keya brought this angel into my life and that I got to know him, learn from him, laugh with him and witness his magic.
My heart is absolutely broken for every person who loved him.
What a loss for the industry and the world.
Rest easy, King Dom 👑 You were truly one of a kind. 💔
