Hi,
my name is Karen Clark. I've lived in Bullhead City for 15 years. I have 2 daughters,
Amanda & Jessica. I've been in the trucking business for 25 years with my
husband, Mike. I had done my own nails for years and decided to start getting
them done by someone else! My nail tech. at the time was Debbie Leckie. She encouraged
me to get my license. I decided, why not, and took my 2 daughters to school with
me. We graduated and took our state board exams together. I opened a salon called
A Touch of Elegance. We've been open now for 3 1/2 years, and it's
been a lot of fun working with my daughters, 3 other hair dressers and a massage
therapist. A Touch of Elegance is a full service salon! I would like to thank
Debbie Leckie and all the clients who have supported our salon.
 Hello,
I am Amanda Clark. I was working two jobs at the mall and wasn't happy with my
life or career when I received the opportunity to go to nail school with my mom
and sister. I looked at it as an opportunity to provide a better life for myself
and my children, so I took it. I can honestly say that I would recommend it to
anyone. It's been three years now that I've been a nail tech. and couldn't be
happier. I love my life and my job!

Hi
everyone, my name is Jessica Underwood. I have lived in Bullhead City for almost
15 years. I graduated from Mohave High School in 2002, and immediately started
working in construction. After about four years of that and getting married I
figured it was time to change my career. I used to love doing my own and my friends
nails. My mom and sister wanted to go to school so we all decided to go together.
We graduated from Coming Attractions beauty school in Kingman in 2006, and my
mom decided to open a salon. This has been the three best years. I get to make
people's hands and feet beautiful and make them feel better about themselves.
It has also been great to become a mom in this industry. I'm sure my daughter
will have a blast when she gets older, getting her hair and nails done. It's just
great to be around people every day. So, come in and let us help you feel better
about yourself.
 Hello,
my name is Britnee Nesbitt. I graduated from Modern Techniques Beauty College
of Lake Havasu, AZ in May, 2009. I chose this profession because I love making
people feel good about the way they look. I have fun doing hair and I feel comfortable
behind the chair. The services I perform are hair cuts, colors, waxing, and hair
styling. I specialize in color, I love trying out new things and experimenting
with colors. I am new to the industry and trying to build my clientele. So, please
come in and see what I can do for you!
Hi,
I am Dallas Morrison. I am 23 years old and I'd like to say that I have been doing
hair for the last 23 years, but I'm pretty sure the Arizona State Board wouldn't
let me get away with that. I went to school at Charles of Italy in Lake Havasu
City and graduated in 2005. I've actually been licensed now for 5 years. I've
been at my current salon A Touch of Elegance for 3 years. I spent
one year in Nevada and my first year in Texas. I specialize in color and style
cuts, but my true talent is listening. I'm here to give you what you want, when
you want it, not what I want, although I will give you my professional advice.
What you decide is ultimately what you will get. I am a full cosmetologist. Some
of the other services I offer are: body waxing, facials, perms, highlights, haircuts,
blow out styles and special event up-do styles.
 My
name is Rosie Rodriquez. I've lived in the area since I was 13 years old and I
graduated from Needles High School. I'm also certified as a bilingual preschool
teacher. But, my passion for hair started when I was like 7 or 8 years old. I
used to style and braid my friends hair even as a little girl. So I decided to
go to beauty school and graduated from Charles of Italy Beauty College. I think
I will do hair for the rest of my life since that's what I love doing.
Thanks
