ABOUT MONIQUE - OWNER OF The Hair Apothecary - Master Colorist/Stylist
My decision to become a hairdresser was made in 1991, when
I helped my sister get ready for the Marine Corps birthday
ball. No detail left untouched, after the last hair was
tucked and sprayed, the look on her face and the pep in
her step was all it took for me to know that hairdressing
was what I wanted to do.
I made my sister’s day. I was a day-maker.
To this day, seeing someone’s face light up after a fresh
haircut or a complete transformation still makes me feel
the same way it did in November of 1991. I’m still a
day-maker.

I have had many wonderful experiences throughout my thirty-year career that have helped shape the way I approach hairdressing and the impact of being a day-maker. When I'm not in the studio, I enjoy exploring various creative endeavors, hanging out with my husband Tom and our six Siberian Huskies: Zeppelin, Bear, Riley, Lucy, Daisy, and Willow.
