Meet: Angel Marie!

Introduce yourself and tell us what inspired your interest in the beauty industry.
I am Angel Marie, a stylist at Gocha Salon. I have worked with a few big names, on set of fashion shows, reality shows, and with the less fortunate. My passion for hair begin as a child, it was a gift that I certainly did not ask for but begin to love the older I got. I love the confidence that I provide for clients and more importantly, I love helping my clients reach a healthy hair goal.

What types of hairstyles do you specialize in?
One thing I do not do is box myself in, I enjoy doing multiple services. My skill set range from natural press, box braids, goddess locs, color, weave installations; the list continues.  
What are the top hair trends for Fall 2018?
Top hair trends to look forward to for the fall are goddess locs, two streak highlight around the face with a middle part, bobby-pinned styles, sleek ponytails, bangs, messy buns and so forth. However the main focus will be the color.

Share a few healthy hair care tips for women to keep in mind.
I’ll give you three healthy hair care tips that will change your world; deep condition, oil and trim your hair! A lot of people  have a misconception that trims “help your hair grow,” when actually it helps you retain length! Your hair is going to grow regardless, it is your ends that cause more damage. When you get a trim regularly, every 6-10 weeks, it’s like you preventing damage and avoiding having to get a FULL hair cut.

What advice would you share with younger women that are interested in entering the hair industry?
Just because you can do hair well does not mean you will automatically be successful. There are thousands of stylist, and even more people with a set stylist but do not let that discourage you; allow it to make you go harder. You are your walking billboard, every engagement you have with another individual is your opportunity to make a new client. Use all platforms to promote your business.
