Summary

I have been a cosmetologist for 20 years. I took some time off and stayed home with a child from 2019 until March of this year, so I am currently building a new clientele. I am looking to work with a company who will allow my creative passion in hairdressing to flourish. I would love to bring revenue to your salon, as well as make revenue and be successful for a great salon. I am starting to build new clientele and I have great reviews from my last couple of months at Bubbles Salon.
