When was the last time you loved your hair???
Personal Trivia about Me – Ann Marie Walts
Since 1992 I create what I believe in. I am an Artist..through and through.
As a published artist, I feel that if you love what you do, then it will love you back.
I’m a challenged driven artist that loves to create, with people that share the same passion and values as I have.
I love all things learning, motivational, fitness,beauty, shopping, sewing, painting, traveling abroad, photography, art, graphic arts, analyzing data, business,marketing, technology, and social media.
My Favorite movies: Devil Wears Prada, Field Of Dreams, The Matrix…and just about any Adam Sandler movie.
My days off: I love spending time with my family, and my dogs (Max & Squirrel)…Simply enjoying life.
If you feel like this is you. I’d love to work with you.
Once I was told, “Get A Real Job!”
I am glad that I did not listen to that poor advice.
I’m approaching 29 years in my industry with almost 15 of that dedicated to hair extensions.
65% Of my business is comprised of Great Lengths Hair Extensions.
Trivia about Education:
I have invested close to $100,000 into all of my education. If there was a PHD in cosmetology then you are looking at it. 🤓
I’ve had my own business since 1999 when I was 29 years old….and so what does that all mean for you?
I love what I do, and you can go to 1 person for just about everything you need.
