Angela Thomas
Owner/Stylist
For the last 25 years Angela Thomas has taken the hair industry by storm! It all started at a young age when Angela began to cut and style her Barbies, friends, and family. Hair was never a career choice for Angela, she belonged in this industry. Angela began taking cosmetology classes in High School to perfect her craft. At the age of 18 Angela received her Cosmetology license in St. Louis, MO, her home town. She began immediately working in salons and her passion just grew from there. This led her to win many different Hair awards and certifications. In her 20's Angela gave birth to her 3 pride and joys, Anthony, Dylan, and Joshua. This didn't stop her from following her passion. They just gave her inspiration every day to do better and raise an amazing family. In 2002, Angela and her incredible husband Jim packed up the boys and moved down to Tampa, FL. Now was the time to prove to the world that she had what it takes to start her own business, and in just a few short years that's exactly what she did. Angela has inspired many people to enter this industry including her son, Dylan Thomas. Angela not only makes people look amazing she makes them feel amazing inside as well! There is no one in this world who is as giving and accepting as this woman, and that’s what makes her work even more special! Mastering her skills in creative cuts, innovative color, and special occasions, Angela knows the look for you!

While attending Paul Mitchell the School Alex had the opportunity to participate in many activities including a trip to Las Vegas for Caper 2009, Design Team, Take Home Team, the Creative Master of the Be Nice or Else Team, and being part of the Phase 2 Honors program.
