As a young girl Bianca always had a niche for hair. In fact, every doll she was gifted was unintentionally beautified (with scissors, that is). Not knowing much about hair, she began to experiment on her mother, cousins, school friends, aunts, etc. with basic styles and braiding techniques. It wasn’t until early 2012 that she decided to take her gift seriously and enroll into the prestigious Aveda Institute South in Washington DC. Learning from the best educators in the city, Bianca learned more than she imagined. From foiling, to haircuts, formulating and so much more. In 2013 Bianca attended the International Beauty Show (IBS) Hair Convention in

Manhattan, New York where she took advanced cutting and coloring classes by trained professionals from all over the world. She then graduated as one of the top students achieving many awards and recognition's. After graduation, Bianca applied to many jobs in the Washington DC area and a few days of her search she got a call from the former owner of Salon Rouge in DuPont Circle.  

Over the next 4 years Bianca learned different color lines, understanding tones and level, perfecting precision cuts, installing seamless extensions, AND mastering balayage. Determining what shaping and framing can do to a lifeless haircut.

Having an excellent eye for detail and being spot on in her suggestions to her clients. Now, being experienced in working with all hair textures, from curly, fine, and coarse textured hair from all ethnicity - Bianca was shutting down the limitations and propelling like no other.

Along side the tips and teaching of celebrity hands-on and business classes, she used her skill from Aveda, hard working ethics and natural instincts to work her way to the top. Thus in 2018 Bianca expanded her career and partnered up with her Aveda sister -  Ibmatu ‘Tei’ Soumah. Together the ladies opened “Suite Stiletto” in L’Enfant Plaza in Washington DC where they were greeted by former Aveda Instructor to remind them daily of the oath they recited every day. “Our mission, at Aveda, is to care for the world we live in…….”

And Bianca plans to do just that.
