CLARISSA SANTIAGO

 

As a cosmetologist and salon suite owner, I provide a range of styling, coloring, makeup, and hair extension services to a diverse clientele in Richmond, VA. I have been licensed by the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation since November 2021, and I have over two years of experience in the beauty industry.

 

My mission and motivation for becoming a cosmetologist was a desire to help women with natural hair embrace their beauty and overcome common challenges. As a child, I grew up believing that I didn’t have “good hair” and that I needed a relaxer to manage or maintain my hair. By providing services tailored to natural hair clients, I not only show women how to maintain and style their hair but I also boost their self-confidence and promote a sense of self-acceptance. I am passionate about healthy natural hair services, and I always strive to deliver high-quality and personalized results.

 

I am bilingual in English and Spanish. Se habla espanol.
