Owner (South Bend)

South Bend

My story begins with makeup. When I was young, the Avon lady used to come to my mother’s house to drop off catalogs and samples of makeup. I saved the samples and began recruiting neighbors and friends who would let me do their makeup. I was obsessed. I enrolled in Cosmetology School and began my career at a salon focusing on hair in the 70s. I’ve learned and experimented throughout the eras of foil highlighting, acrylic nails, and perms. SPECIALTIES: I love to cut hair and feel strongly about educating my clients about proper haircare and maintenance!
