Jona Finstad
Clifton
Summary
My name is Jona, a Cosmetologist for almost 26 years. About 15 years in Waco, Texas! This career is what I am meant to do! People usually call on me for helping the homeless with haircuts and my vivid colors! If having tattoos are discriminated in your place of business, you can skip over me. I don't want to waste your time as I have many tattoos but it doesn't make my work ethic any less. I love helping people! I would love to learn something new! I have experience in data entry, banking, customer service as well. I would like to also add I am the President of the Bosque County Child Welfare Board. We are a non-profit that raises money for children in CPS/ Foster Care.
