Licensed in cosmetology since 2000, she founded Topcurl Beauty Academy and established Salon Topcurl in Bowie, MD, in 2018.

If that wasn’t a big enough accomplishment, she is also the Only National Board Certified Cosmetology Teacher in Maryland. All I could say was, “this is truly a WOW Woman!” The roots of this brilliant WOW Woman’s formal cosmetology education and career began in the public school system in her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland, where she obtained her cosmetology license at the young age of seventeen. From there, she attended college fulltime while balancing a full-time salon career. After graduating from undergrad college, she became a State Certified Cosmetology Instructor and Program Coordinator in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Since 2006, Ms. Shanay has trained many high school and private career cosmetology graduates who are now licensed professionals, from cosmetologists to nail techs. Outer beauty is the one thing that often amplifies the inner confidence of women, and Salon Topcurl does a magnificent job at elevating the beauty and spirit of women. At the same time, Topcurl Beauty Academy trains top talent in cutting-edge techniques, professionalism, and business ethics.
