Owner/Level 4 Stylist

Opened my first small hair salon in 1998 after working in Oshkosh for many years. In 2001 I moved to a larger salon where we added nail services. In 2006 my husband Robert and I built the current Mane Attraction Salon & Day Spa where we were able to offer full haircare, nailcare, facial and massage  services.
