Meet the Director

Thank you for visiting Beyond Beauty Academy! This school has been a dream of mine for many years. I am so happy to see this dream come true. I am an advanced stylist with over 25 years of experience and the successful business owner of Above All Hair Studio and Spa in Hampton, VA. My experience includes training in hair, makeup, teaching and serving my community. I am a licensed Stylist, Master Aesthetician and Master Instructor. My passion for beauty doesn’t stop at Above All Hair Studio or Beyond Beauty Academy.



I enjoy giving back to my community which has supported me throughout the years. I find strength in helping women that cannot help themselves when dealing with cancer through the American Cancer Society’s “Look Good, Feel Better” program, “Relay for Life” benefit and Sister to Sister mentor group as a mentor and Board member which helps preteen and teenage girls develop self-esteem and courage to accomplish anything they set their mind to doing. My greatest joy is the start up of my own organization called “Beauty in Unity". It is a community service group working to encourage beauty in all women and young girls of all ages.



From my potential to my passion, I have devoted my professional life to achieving excellence in the Hair Artistry. I want to help you realize your potential in the beauty industry. Come see what Beyond Beauty has in store for you!


Sincerely,

Dr. LaTonya Taliferro
