Stylist Ruffled Maxi Dress with Heart and Scissor Rhinestones

I started in the beauty business 36 years ago. I started working in a chain right out of beauty school. Went to a private owner salon after that and started taking advanced training courses to improve my skills and grow my craft. I instantly fell in love with learning and challenging myself to try new things. After working for a few private salon I realized that I had out grown their salons and opened my own. In 1998 I bought a turn key salon and started working by myself. I hired my sister in law and sister when I started. I then went to the local Cosmetology school and would hire students and train them. I loved teaching and helping them grow a clientele. As time changed and stylist would come and go, I decided to purchase an old house dated back to the 1800'S and make it a 2 story salon . At that time I went from commission to booth rental to give the stylist an opportunity to make more income and work the desired hours they wanted to balance out their lives. Changing to booth rental salon allowed me to try new things. I started selling items at Cosmo Prof Hair Show events. This was an exciting time. I took notice that Salon Professionals like to dress comfortable and that was not professional. That was the beginning to my Clothing Line. I found me a manufacturer that would private label my clothing line I put my rhinestone designs on them. That is how 2 Blondes Apparel got started. I make, flip flops, jewelry, leggings, and the list goes on.
