CONNIE OROZCO

My name is Connie Orozco, and I have proudly been a hairdresser for more than 25 years, honing my skills and perfecting my craft over the years. I specialize in creating beautiful and stylish perms, but I also excel in vibrant color applications, stunning highlights, and a variety of trendy cuts that cater to my clients' unique preferences. I began my rewarding career in sunny Florida, but I am originally from our charming town of Monroe. Hair styling is truly my part-time profession and my full-time passion, allowing me to express my creativity and connect with clients; however, I also dedicate my time to being a 5th grade math teacher, which brings its own set of joys and challenges.
