Resident Stylist at Bell Tower Salon Spa
Designation: Master Stylist
Experience: With Bell Tower since 1989
With an impressive career spanning over 55 years, Wilma is one of the most experienced and dedicated stylists at Bell Tower Salon Spa. Since joining Bell Tower in 1989, Wilma’s commitment to her craft and her clients is unparalleled. A graduate of Empire Beauty School, Wilma has continuously refined her skills over the decades through advanced training with Bumble and Bumble for cutting techniques and Wella for advanced color work. Known for her expertise, particularly in working with fine hair and middle-aged clients, Wilma takes pride in creating styles that leave her guests feeling confident and satisfied.
Wilma’s philosophy is rooted in client empowerment. Not only does she want her guests to leave with a hairstyle they love, but she also ensures they have the skills and knowledge to maintain it at home. “I want the guests to feel that I’ve done the best for them, and that they leave happy and can style their own hair,” she says. Her approach is unique in that she takes the time to educate her clients on the products and techniques they need to recreate their style, making sure they feel confident long after they leave the salon.
Wilma believes that products are the foundation of a great hairstyle, and she always recommends the best products for her clients’ needs. During each appointment, she demonstrates how to use tools like brushes and explains the styling process in a way that’s easy to follow. “I show them the size of the brush I’m using, how to work with their hair, and which products will give them the best results,” she explains. Her focus on education ensures that every client feels empowered to maintain their style with ease.
Wilma has a true passion for haircuts, especially when it comes to working with fine to medium hair. “I do fine hair very well,” she says, confidently sharing that this is one of her specialties. Over her extensive career, Wilma has mastered the art of cutting fine hair, understanding its unique challenges and how to create styles that add volume and movement. Her favorite part of styling is creating cuts that not only suit her clients’ facial features but are also easy for them to manage at home.
One of Wilma’s greatest joys is the long-term relationships she has built with her clients. Many of them have been coming to her for years, trusting her expertise and artistry with their hair. “I love that they come back to me and have faith in me to do their hair,” she says. For Wilma, the trust that clients place in her is a testament to the quality of care she provides. Her attention to detail, combined with her genuine interest in making her clients happy, has earned her a loyal following.
After briefly retiring, Wilma decided to return to the salon because she missed the joy that comes with helping clients look and feel their best. “I retired and came back,” she says with a laugh, admitting that she loves what she does too much to stay away for long.
Wilma enjoys working with a wide range of clients, but she has a special connection with middle-aged to older women. “I relate well to middle-aged and older clients,” she explains. These clients often feel more comfortable with her, and she finds that they trust her expertise to help them achieve the styles they want. That said, Wilma is more than capable of working with clients of all ages, and she enjoys creating tailored looks for anyone who sits in her chair. Her experience and versatility allow her to cater to the diverse needs of her clientele, whether it’s a trendy cut for a younger client or a classic look for someone more mature.
Despite her decades of experience, Wilma is always eager to continue learning and improving her skills. She has attended numerous advanced training sessions, including cutting classes with Bumble and Bumble and color education with Wella. This dedication to staying current with trends and techniques ensures that Wilma’s clients benefit from the latest in hair care and styling innovations.
Wilma’s over 55 years of experience alone set her apart, but it’s her unwavering dedication to her clients that truly makes her a standout stylist. She brings a depth of knowledge and a personal touch to every appointment, ensuring that each client feels valued and cared for. “I have the experience, and I always make sure I’m going to please my clients with what they want, not what I want,” Wilma explains. Her combination of skill, client focus, and willingness to go the extra mile makes her a trusted and beloved stylist at Bell Tower Salon Spa.
