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 17+ 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 teaches her children that hard work and dedication always pay off. She has shown true resiliency and that no matter where you are in life, you will get through it and rise above. 
​
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. We could not be more proud of her for always continuing to grow and expand her knowledge in the industry.

We look forward to seeing how far she can go with the Surface Hair Company, as we know this is truly a dream for her!
