Wendy Pimetel | Hairstylist + Suite Owner A Hair Obsessed

- Fashion & Beauty
Wendy's hair obsession started as a tween doing hair on herself and her mom and friends in hight school asked ‘’who does your hair’’? In Jr College she stumbled upon Cosmetology in the course catalog which she thought could be cool. Knowing she would not have sanity being full time mom + working, Wendy put her career on pause for 16 years to raise her 3 boys ages 14-16-18 and has been back behind the chair FT for the past 2 years. Now, ‘'They don’t even know if I’m at home or work and just text me whats for dinner?’’ Always knowing she was going to go back (she just didn’t know when) she went to the Long Beach hair show every year to keep up with trends. She’s been licensed since 1999 and just opened her salon suite ''bespoke hair design'' in Irvine, CA.
