Long Beach

About Me:

I was born in Honduras. I moved to the U.S. in 1990 when the only English words I knew were thank you, good bye, hello, bathroom, house, school, all body parts, and love. I did not know what "Hi" meant and once used the word “constipated” to mean “congested” (funny story). I am grateful for all the opportunities this country has offered and continues to offer me. I give thanks to God everyday for each person he has placed in my path; that means you!

I love the outdoors, butterflies, dancing, and tweety bird (Piolin in Spanish). I do my best to smile and laugh as much as possible; it is a great challenge but I encourage you to try it... Please if I don’t talk to you during our runs, approach me and say hello; sometimes I can be a bit shy…

The other stylist names were Lisa, Cher, Terry, Denise, Carol, Valery. Just looking for someone with curly hair that knows how to cut curly hair. Sometimes it is a hard thing it find.

Hope your week is going well.
Take Care,
Anna
