Antoinette Baez
President, Hair Essentials Studio
Antoinette has been in the industry for over 25 years. She is a NYS-certified cosmetologist and has an extensive list of loyal clients, many of whom we have been privileged to serve at this location for decades. Early in her career, she received considerable training in corporate salon management.
When Hair Essentials Studio was founded in early 2021, Antoinette and her husband immediately set out to renovate the space to better serve clients. Separate areas were created to allow for the privacy of our diverse customer base. A dream team of long-term, retained staff and former colleagues that have impressed and inspired us was assembled..
While building on a foundation established at this location in 1995, Antoinette loves getting to know new clients, and remains focused on perfecting the customer service experience and expanding the variety of services offered.
Antoinette trained at the Westchester School of Beauty Culture.
