Meet Our Staff
Maureen
School Director, Financial Aid and Educator
Maureen began her cosmetology career in 1979, and throughout the next 42 years would go on to own three salons, and employed several cosmetologists who went on to open their own salons in Manitowoc and the surrounding areas; 21 assisted owner careers to date! In 2019 she was inspired to to open Lords N' Ladies Salon Academy in hopes to give back to an industry that has been so good to her! In October of 2020 she had the opportunity to purchase Bella Academy in Oshkosh, WI and move it to her Manitowoc location. It stemmed from a simple principle; educate quality, not quantity. "I could not have made this school possible without the the support of my husband and family, and certainly not without the help of the team that makes it run so successfully today. I am proud of what we have built here in Manitowoc, and look forward to many years of educating students."
