I’ve been in the beauty industry for 30 years. I graduated from IBA Technical College at the age of 20. I found my first job at an esteemed salon. I was hired to assist a mother-to-be as a shampoo girl and also helping the large salon with various tasks. I was taken under the wing of the owner with one-on-one training to sharpen my skills. I was employed at that location for 18 years before going out on my own.
The past 12 years I’ve worked behind the chair as a small business owner doing booth rental and also at two other large salons where I found my love for Aveda products. With a helping hand and an opportunity, I went on to finish my career as a salon owner, opening Aponi Salon in 2018.
One thing holds true – my love for the beauty industry holds strong. I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, and dog mother. I love animals, music, food, wine, long drives in the sun, gardening, vacations, and time with family and friends. I’ve spent most of my life building lasting relationships with clients who have become a large part of my life.
