In 2008, she appeared on “Real Housewives of Atlanta,” where Kenya Moore gained both admiration and respect. While the reality TV show occasionally portrayed a different facet of Moore, it provided a platform for promoting her brand.

Many people have wondered if Moore’s hair was her own. As she began her career on the “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, she was asked many times whether she wore wigs along with other outrageous questions that led her to share her hair journey.

In Season 12, episode six of “Real Housewives of Atlanta”, Moore walks into Marlo Hampton’s party to advertise her hair care products with a band. It was at that moment many viewers and co-stars began debating whether Moore wore wigs. Kenya Moore Hair Spa is opened to clients of all hair types who want to rebuild their natural hair. Kenya Moore Hair Spa includes head spa, silk presses and blowouts.

Moore opened her salon in April 2024 in Georgia. Between modeling, acting, producing and being a salon owner, Moore has a net worth to $800,000, according to Celebrity Networth.
