A Note About Barbara
Barbara was born and raised outside of Boston. Her inspiration to pursue her creative passion came after working a semester at Walt Disney World in Orlando. After graduating cosmetology school in 1991, she apprenticed under only the top stylists for two years. She owned and operated a full service day spa in Florida, before moving to North Carolina. Her credentials include: Vidal Sassoon Academy in London, Goldwell Academy in Baltimore, Great Lengths Academy in Miami, and Empowering You Academy in California. Her belief in continuing education has lead to extensive training in dimensional color, balayage, hair shaping, smoothing treatments and fusion hair extensions. She prides herself in helping you find the best look for your face shape and lifestyle.

Google Reviews Barbara is AMAZING! She does my color and extensions better than anyone ever, which is why I drive several hours for her to do my hair. Plus she’s a blast and just an all around awesome person. :) Stephannie Perrin
