After moving back to Niagara in 2008, she worked in the Salon Industry until 2017.
At that time, Kendra was a Mom of three and decided to take some time to focus on her Family. Baby number 4 arrived soon after, and Kendra knew that this was the perfect time to stay home with her babies for a few years.
We are glad that Kendra has decided to return, and since 2019 has been a great asset to our Team.
