Before I bought the salon, it was L&L Salon. I worked there as the receptionist throughout high school then again while I was pregnant with my daughter and during beauty school. Working at L&L was what had inspired me to go to beauty school. I went to Eastern Washington University for a short while and was just lost on what I wanted to do, so I moved home.

 

When I moved home and came back to L&L, and that's when I knew that this industry was my calling. After graduating beauty school my time at L&L had come to an end due to them not having an opening for me. I worked at a spa that I wasn't happy at for 3 years before I found out that L&L was looking for an esthetician.

 

I "applied" that same day and she hired me on the spot! I had been working as a commission esthetician for 2 years when the discussion of purchasing the salon started to become a topic of conversation. It quickly progressed from there. Once I bought L&L, I changed the name to Bello Beauty and now we are on our second year!
