Since Vanessa was a young child, she wanted to be a hairstylist. One of her fondest memories was helping her grandmother with her roller sets. She has been active in the cosmetology field for 16 years. She pushes herself to learn more about innovative techniques and new products as they will help meet her client's needs. She has advanced knowledge in color, cutting & texturizing techniques, and product use.
​
Vanessa has two children and one bonus daughter, her biggest motivators and what makes her continually strive for more. She & her family participate in Relay for Life every year, which fits right in with Live Salon's desire to touch more than just hair (or lashes) but the entire community. She is passionate in all aspects of her life. 
​
She embarked on a new chapter in her career and life, returning to school for her Cosmetology Teaching License. She has officially obtained that license from the Pennsylvania State Board of Cosmetology. She has also started training to become a Wella Color Expert and Surface Hair Insider & Educator. Combining that with her nurturing personality, she was the perfect candidate for our leadership position of Education Lead. She helps our new stylists and supports all staff in continuing their education.

Vanessa also is our bridal coordinator. She assists brides and bridal parties with contracts and ensures the day goes as smoothly as possible. If you are interested in our bridal services, please click here!

We love Vanessa's skills and the experience she brings. It is her time to shine, and we hope Live Salon & the clients she has can help her reach far beyond her dreams. Vanessa is a tremendous asset to the team and impacts the staff, guests, and community.
