Not only does he craft with style, flair and effortless ability, he is a total trendsetting package. He consistently showcases his multifaceted talent and versatility which is why he is called “The Universal Stylist.”

Tyree’s interest in hair began at the age of nine when he would accompany his Grandmother to the hair salon in Philadelphia, where they would both receive hair services. He would watch intently as the stylist would style his Grandmother’s and other client’s hair. It wasn’t long before Tyree convinced his Mother, Grandmother, and Aunts to let him experiment with their hair. Those experiments eventually resulted in viable, creative, and/or original styles that not only continued to keep his family returning, but also piqued the interest of others in his natural, raw talent and ability.

By the age of twelve, Tyree’s steady clientele of family and friends began to increase. It was amazing to others how this young man could make hair move and contour the way he wanted it to. Over time, He had developed and stored a very wide range of styles in his hair closet: up-do’s, press & curls, and wet sets were just some of the services he would provide. However, it was Tyree’s eye for creativity which set him apart.

Upon graduating from Camden County Technical School in 2003, Tyree eagerly enrolled in Rizzieri Schools for Beauty and Wellness from which he earned his cosmetology license. He has been involved in cosmetology for eighteen years, barbering for five years, and make up artistry for five years. His clientele spans across the United States.

Tyree was also a featured stylist on the hit BETJ (now Centric) reality TV show “Tears, Shears, and Beauty.” He is the founder and CEO of Universal Stylist Inc., and the current President of the Hair Oscars Association. He also devotes many hours to educating young stylists, and is a supporter of many Cancer and HIV/AIDS foundations.

In 2011, Tyree became the proprietor and senior stylist of his first salon, Tai Couture Salon located in Pennsauken NJ. In 2012, Tyree launched his virgin hair lines Red Velvet Hair and InstaGlam Hair. In 2013, Tyree launched his trendy and affordable online fashion boutique, TaiCoutureBoutique(dot)com.
