Denise has volunteered as a hair designer for churches in the community of New Rochelle, various women's shelters, and charter schools in the Bronx and the Westchester County school district in helping single mothers and their children with special formal occasions, proms, and graduations. Denise also worked with health development in educating women on self-health care. Denise also has the proud privilege of being a prominent stylist for a New York State senator!
The salon is named after Denise's son "Habib," which means "darling I love you," and it has received a certificate of honor for being in business over 20 years from the Mayor of New Rochelle. Denise and her experienced staff of independent stylist's goals are to continue to provide top quality and artistic hair design services to new and recurring customers alike, while also continuing volunteer community outreach.
