As she saw that there was a gap that needed to be filled in the salon industry she decided to go back to school and future her education in cosmetology , ” my goal as a stylist is to make everyone experience the luxury of having hair extensions and having the confidence to go into a hair salon no matter the condition of their hair . just because it’s not yours doesn’t mean you can’t treat it like it is .
