About me
From an early age, I knew I had a passion to make people look good and feel even better about themselves. I was taught that I could be anything I wanted to be and I wanted to make people feel beautiful. With this passion fueling me, I decided to attend the Aveda Institute of Atlanta, where I graduated in 2005. I started out with an interest in nails; after all, life may not be perfect but your nails can be. However, after being immersed in the world of beauty and fashion, and being trained by some of the best in the business, I realized that being a hairstylist was my true calling.
After graduating from cosmetology school, I started working at Salon 124, while living in north Atlanta. Through hard work and dedication, I quickly worked my way up from new talent to salon suite owner. Each year I worked on perfecting my craft and honing my skills to be the best hairstylist I could be. Needing a change in scenery, I moved to West Palm, Florida in 2013. And what a wonderful decision it was, because a year later I met my husband. I continued my work at Sam Jon's Salon for a few years until my husband’s career moved us to Lake Mary, Florida.
While working in Lake Mary, I fell in love with milkshake products because the ingredients are naturally derived from plants and make the hair look healthy, vibrant, and smell amazing. Throughout the years I have also found a passion creating blondes and highlights that bring out the best features in my clients. Every day is an opportunity for growth and I am constantly educating myself by attending classes and watching videos of fellow hairstylists. I am very excited to continue my journey by owning my own salon and raising the confidence of each client that sits in my chair.
TESTIMONY
“There is not enough amazing things I can say about Shana. I have extremely thick hair that have made multiple hairstylists shake their head in exasperation. Throughout my life, it has been a constant struggle of leaving the hair salon and liking my hair but not loving it. That changed when I met Shana. My thick hair didn’t phase her and she styled it to perfection. She uses the best products on my hair and is a wizard with highlighting and coloring. Every time I leave the salon, people ask me where I get my hair done. I live in California now and will still travel to Florida to get my hair done by her. I can’t thank her enough for helping me feel beautiful.”
