Stacianne (Staci) Howard is a USAF Retired Major and Public Health Officer with 20 years of service. After retiring in 2015, she followed her passion into cosmetology, graduating from International Salon and Spa Academy where she became a Master Educator.
Staci opened her own suite for flexibility with family, and quickly realized her true calling was to start a nonprofit — so she did. Coming from a large family of 8 brothers and sisters, her heart is in giving back wherever she can.
We believe that even broken crayons still color. Our mission is to uplift individuals and families by providing essential beauty services, building community, and creating spaces where everyone belongs.
"Iron sharpens iron, so spend time with the people who will make you enjoy life. Life is way too short to be nice — be KIND instead. Be an elevator friend. Take people by the hand and pull them up, not down."
