Pizana, who was known to donate dresses and style hair for underprivileged students at Cajon High School, left the thriving business to her children, Isabella Fraire and Jerry Pizana. Fraire found herself as a coowner of the business and has learned to cut and professionally style hair. While she says the transition has not been easy, she does all she can to make her mother proud and move the business forward.
