Where The Music Industry And Beauty Industry Meet

Volume Up by The Tease

Interview with Aga Tompkins

With a passion for personal development and a deep understanding of image, Aga Tompkins is Celebrity Hairstylist / Makeup Artist, Certified Professional Beauty Educator, Motivational Speaker, and Amika Brand Manager with more than 15 years of experience driving positive impacts in the beauty and music industries.

Aga’s journey began when she founded her salon – Rock Razor Scissors – and quickly scaled it from local business to market leader by providing niche services to touring artists. Before she moved on to her next adventure, her business would serve some of the largest names in music, including Radiohead, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Deftones, and Roger Waters.

This experience opened the door to celebrity image development, and Aga fell in love with building and managing strategic brand images for some of the largest names in music. She served as Carly Rae Jepsen’s Global Tour Hairstylist/MUA for nearly a decade, expertly seizing the opportunity to build and manage a strategic brand and image for the Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter and actor. She designed hair and makeup for Jepsen’s appearances on and in SNL, the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Cosmopolitan, Allure, and The New York Times. More importantly, Aga drew on both her passion for style and commitment to authenticity to design the long-term strategy and direction for the artist’s image. In doing so, she considered Jepsen’s personality alongside upcoming trends.

Most recently, Aga demonstrates her love of motivation, training, and growth to teach image, authenticity, and beauty as Territory Brand Manager for Amika while continuing to tour the world as a guest speaker in the industry.

One of her favorite teaching opportunities is serving as a Pro Educator and Content Creator for America’s Beauty Show. She creates and and maintains education and training materials from concept to execution while also directing live Zoom Continuing Education classes.

At Amika, Aga has the opportunity to onboard, train, and mentor a sales team – as well as her clients’ employees – across an 11-state territory. In addition to managing everything from onboarding and training to mentoring and employee engagement, she creates content, designs innovative social media posts, and serves on the DEI and Giving Back Committee as a co-lead for their partnership with Beauty Changes Lives.

Whether she’s traveling the country educating about beauty and authenticity or training team members to create a solid culture of growth and success, Aga applies her passion for professional development, understanding of image, and commitment to excellence to everything she does.
