Summary

As a licensed esthetician and manicurist I have worked within the industry since 1982, and have opened, co-owned, handled business paperwork, including payroll, set up schedules and managed the front desks of several hair salons (I was married twice to hairdressers). I enjoy meeting new people and making them comfortable and welcome. I love the industry and the people in it, and understand their specific needs, and moods, and how they work.

Since Covid-19 caused me to shut down my own business since March 2020 I have lost a significant client base due to concerns for client safety. With such a long interruption I have permanently lost 50% of my clientele as I provide luxury services. While everyone needs a haircut, many consider facials and lashes low on their list of priorities.

  • Licensed Esthetician, Manicurist, and Makeup Artist with more than 850 hours of professional training.
