After relocating to Florida, Shannon founded Hair Solutions of Tampa in 2005. Today, it stands as one of Tampa’s most trusted studios for non-surgical hair replacement, laser therapy, and luxury hair extensions. Her business blends artistry with innovation, bringing the latest techniques and technology to every client.

She has served as a Technical Director of Education for leading international hair restoration brands and trained stylists across the country to become certified restoration specialists.
Her extensive experience also includes product development collaborations with top manufacturers and consulting on the CBS television series Undercover Boss from 2011 to 2015. Shannon has personally trained and certified professionals in over 30 studios nationwide, ensuring top-quality standards across the industry.
