“I have been a Master Stylist and Beauty Educator for over 20 years. Listening to clients share their hair care stories made me realize the need for a professional haircare line which offers simple styling and maintenance solutions to help them feel more confident in their everyday lives.”

Her decision to create her own haircare line, Velia Beauty Co., was a natural outgrowth of her philosophy that clients should be enabled to achieve salon quality results when styling their own hair. Velia Beauty Co. allows her to offer the highest quality haircare products without the guesswork. It’s a little bit of “Velia” in your morning routine!

This “good-for-you” haircare line nurtures your hair and scalp with weightless, all natural formulas which boast a healthy shine and UV protection without buildup or residue.
