Marie-Denise has been a New York State Licensed Cosmetologist since 2006. 

Although she obtained a BA in Social Work and is employed full-time as a Community Coordinator for the NYC Department of Education, Styling has always been a true passion for Marie-Denise.  

Marie-Denise's friends and family continue to entrust her with their most precious hairstyle, and at the elementary school where she works, she volunteers her time to conduct free hair care workshops for parents and she offers free hairstyling to students as well.

Marie-Denise created the "401" program initiative at her elementary school to build students' esteem and educate parents and guardians about healthy hair and scalp, as head lice had become an epidemic in the school community that impacted students' overall academic performance.

Marie-Denise is an influencer and community leader. She wears her heart on her selves and inspires people in whatever she does. Marie-Denise's motto is, "If you look good; you feel good; you do WELL."
