Bethany Bartlett-Tomko, a Cherryfield, Maine native, knew that she loved Hair and Fashion from an early age.

She graduated high school and attended college at the University of Maine, then went on to graduate Cosmetology School in Portland, Maine.

She moved to Florida to escape the cold, like so many do, and quickly became the manager of the Salon department at NSpa at the Delray Beach Marriott.
