- Betty Rajabi, Owner
Hair Stylist and Color Specialist, Owner
Styling and coloring hair has always been one of my passions. I have 15 years of experience in the hair industry and I am licensed to work in Europe and America with Cuts-Colors-Perms and styling skills. I have received my education in hair cutting and styling from the Ecole Internationale de coiffure des Evelines in France, Jacque Dessange Salon Training in Lille, Vidal Sassoon in San Francisco. I have also been trained in Redkeen, Aveda, and the Framessi coloring technique. I speak three languages and enjoy my profession. I have always planned to have my own salon and that dream has come true. La Nana now includes extensive spa services, which makes me very happy to provide for our clients.
I enjoy working with people and connecting to their beauty. It makes me happy to see how customers feel with their new look after leaving my salon and how relaxed and healthy they feel when they are getting a body massage or skin care treatment in my spa.
We hope La Nana will become your salon for all your needs. Our staff at La Nana is made up of highly trained professionals in their field.
Senior Hair Stylist
I graduated from Paris beauty college in 2004. Right after passing the test to get my Cosmetology license I joined the team at Tribez salon in Danville as a student in their intern program. I spent a year of assisting and going through their intense training program. I eventually made my way to a senior stylist and have been doing hair ever since. I started working at La Nana a few months ago and I am enjoying it. I love both haircutting and color.
Hair Stylist
After graduating from the University of Oregon with a degree in sociology I wanted to pursue a careeras a hair stylist. After obtaining my license from Milan Institute of Cosmetology I assisted in Berkeleyat an Aveda salon and fell in Love with the product line as well as the color line. I have worked withmany color lines but there is nothing like Aveda. I love how customizable the color is, so that each guesthas their own individual look that best suits them. The joy in cutting hair is being able to work with alldifferent types of hair textures and achieving precise shape for each individual. I have always enjoyedthe true art that comes with coloring, cutting, and hair styling. I enjoy expressing my creativity as wellas listening and getting to know my client. Being able to showcase my creativity and make people feelgreat when they leave my chair is why I truly love being a stylist.
