As Teresa says “What job can you do being creative and receive instant gratification on a daily basis.” Teresa says “This is an amazing feeling”.

Joanie

I’ve been doing hair for 32 years. I worked for another salon for the first 2 years, then Teresa and I opened Julians Hair Designers in 1981. Our parents, Joe and Doris Zanelotti, were our silent partners. Doris did all the daily books, and I did payroll. After moving the salon to Dunkirk in 1996, Joe and Doris turned everything over to Teresa and myself. I now do all the bookwork, and still work behind the chair part-time. I specialize in skin care, nail services and hair. I’m very excited that my daughter, Ashley and step-daughter, Natalie, have joined us to continue to service our clients.
