Teresa brings over 38 years of industry expertise and an enduring passion for hairstyling that traces back to her childhood days spent styling Barbie dolls and her family's hair. Though originally from New York, she found her true calling in St. James City on Pine Island, a place she now proudly calls home.

Her professional journey includes 13 years at JC Penney Salons in Fort Myers, where she honed her skills, before venturing into entrepreneurship. For the past 22 years, Teresa has owned and operated a thriving small business nestled within Salon 2000.

What truly sets Teresa apart is her ability to forge meaningful connections with her clients, providing not only exceptional hairstyling services but also a listening ear and a safe space for personal and professional conversations. Behind the chair, she sees each appointment as an opportunity for both client and stylist to engage in therapeutic exchanges, making every interaction an enriching and ongoing experience.
