RoundBrushHair! > Dominican Hair Care Blog

OK, am I the only one excited about the NCAA tournament or what? I don’t even follow college basketball, not when I was a student at the University of Maryland (GO TERPS!) and definitely not now.

But I’m excited for 1 reason only: I get to play in a basketball pool!

Every year around this time men enter multiple NCAA pools and women are kinda left out because I don’t think we care that much. We would much rather do our hair, browse new hair products or go to the hair salon right? Well, not any more! This is our 2nd Annual NCAA tournament and we’ve got some great prizes you can win while watching the tournament games:

Free Dominican hair products and Free wash & sets from participating Dominican salons!!  Basketball & hair - what a wonderful combination!

So who are you banking on winning? Where did you go to school? How are you choosing the winning team (color of uniforms)? :–)

Good luck!! Submit your brackets now through March 19th

RBH: Hello Mariana! Congratulations on being our Featured Dominican Stylist for the month of March!

Mariana: Thank you for featuring me!

RBH: Tell us about how you first got started doing hair.

Mariana: Well, I started doing hair back at home (Dominican Republic); I graduated from cosmetology school in 1984 then moved to the United States in 1985.

RBH: Did you immediately open up your own salon when you moved to the United States?

Mariana: Oh no. I worked at a salon called Mireya’s Beauty Salon for 12 years (1985-1992). Then I had a partnership with another woman named Francis to co-own a salon on 18th Street in Washington, DC for six years (1998-2003). It was after that partnership that I opened my first salon - Image Beauty Salon.

RBH: How do you juggle having two salons? Do you work at both?

Mariana: Yes, I work at both. I have days when I’m at Image Beauty and then other days when I’m at Dominican Image.  I work with friends that I’ve known since I moved to this country.

RBH: This isn’t a fair question, but do you like being at one salon over the other?

Mariana: No, I love them both. We are all professionals with many years of experience, and love doing hair.

RBH: Do you specialize in any hair type?

Mariana: We specialize in every hair type! Visit us today!
