New to the floor!

Tonia has spread her wings! After assisting both Jeff and Arlene for a year, Tonia Mazzo has earned her place on the floor at EPIC. Some of you may know her from her days of applying color for Arlene or holding foils for Jeff's clients. Others may know her as the friendly voice on our phones Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Here's a little of what our newest stylist has to say:

AHA MOMENT
When you're a kid it's always fun to do hair. When I was 15 my aunt came home with a box of bleach and a cheap pair of scissors and said "you're doing my hair because I'm broke". I've wanted a career in hairdressing ever since.

TRAINING
I attended the Paul Mitchell school in Sherman Oaks and graduated in November of 2008. Then I came to EPIC and I assisted Jeff and Arlene for a year.

FAVORITE HAIRSTYLE
I love the updo barrel curl style worn by the likes of Grace Kelly and anything that looks good with a tiara.

BEAUTY MUST HAVE
Accessories! Whether it be for the hair or as an item of clothing.

MENTORS
My Grandmother, who raised 4 children alone. She had the "working woman" and "stay at home" titles nailed.

BIGGEST CHALLENGE
Making the decision about what to do with my life, because I was a "jack of all trades, master of none".

BEST PIECE OF ADVICE I EVER GOT
Play with people better than you.

GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT
Going back to school in my 30's to do what I really want to do.

NEXT CAREER STEP
I would love to open the 2nd "EPIC Salon".
