OWNER/COSMETOLOGIST
I am proud to be the owner and a hairstylist at Bombshell Salon. I love my job because I get to make every person that sits in my chair feel great. I get to meet so many new people every day and everyone has a different story, and wants a different look and I get to help them accomplish it. I love to go to classes and learn the latest trends and styles and bring them back to my clients and my team. I am certified to do eyelash extensions and facial threading. Come in and let me or a talented member of our staff help you find your new look.
