Apprentice Hairdresser
Various Views Research
Long Island, NY
10.1977 - 02.1990
- After graduating beauty school I worked as an assistant then worked in varoius salons picking up traing techniques along the way. My youthful impatience finally led me to work with my cousin, Mary Brunnetti, a prominent hairdresser in the industry in the '90s, where I finally volunteered to go back and learn the basics, which allowed me to become the hairdresser I am today.
