VaNonda Harmon-Fielder

founder

I am a retired Hairstylist of over 30 years. Near the end of my career, my husband and I took on the role of mom and dad to several local foster children. We soon noticed many troubling disparities among our children. One of the issues that particularly stood out was the condition of our kids' hair. Seeing how this made them feel had an overwhelmingly negative effect. I was compelled to create an opportunity for hundreds of other foster and displaced children who like mine, were in dire need of professional hair care services.
