My background begins in the big city New York.  I had a dream of owning and operating my own boutique where women could get beauty services and fashions. My mother was my inspiration due to her beauty, grace and style. When I discovered that I these same qualities I took them to a higher level and there evolved GA LA CAR.

I attended college majoring in Business Administration with a minor in Journalism. While attending college she had the opportunity to work for a prestigious temporary employment agency in the Wall Street area of New York City. The agency gave me the opportunities to work for Essence Magazine, The New York Stock Exchange, Solomon Brothers Brokerage firm and the Mayor’s Office. The corporate world did not allow for room for creativity.  I took my corporate knowledge proceeded to the next step and attended cosmetology school.

I attended Long Island Beauty School and became a licensed cosmetologist.  I was the first black person to be awarded a scholarship from my cosmetology school to attend Christine Valmy School For Esthetics and Makeup located on 5^th Avenue in New York. I was certified then honored and given the privilege of become a teacher at Christine Valmy's makeup courses.

This lead me to open and operate her own skin care and  cosmetics clinic within a salon located in Long Island, New York. While working at my craft an opportunity opened up for me to own and operate my own business in Jacksonville, Florida. Arriving here ahead of my time, I had to offer more than skincare and cosmetics. I utilized my cosmetology skills and became a Weaveologist. This was the beginning of making my dream into a reality of offering a host of beauty services and fashions
