A few months after Joe opened the salon, Donna came on board. Her background in administrative business management, marketing, merchandising, and customer service enabled her to take on the company's business side and allow Joe to devote his artistic talents to his clients - and his educational skills to continue developing our creative team.
Donna is inspired by this amazing industry and could not be happier that she chose this path 20+ years ago. |
