The decision to go into business has proven to be a wise move for Universal Hair Design and Suntan Studio.

After seven years working as a hairdresser out of someone else's shop, Bernie Vanderstar made the decision to operate her own.

"I received excellent counselling, advice and financial help from the Apeetogosan (Metis) Development Corp.," she said.

"I didn't know anything about setting up books, and they took the time to show me."

Grateful that she was given the chance to be her own boss, and to ensure her business remains a success, the 26-year-old Metis is committed to working long hours.

"The thought that having your own business would be great, but one must be willing to work long hours," she says.

The job of a hairstylist can be very rewarding. Like an artist at work, she can observe her creation and take pleasure bringing if to her customer.

She believes that having your hair styled or your nails manicured usually generates a happy mood, and a happy mood, is usually contagious.

Vanderstar's shop (Universal Hair Design and Suntan Studio) is located at 11745-95 St. and specializes in the latest unisex cuts, perms, colors, foils, braids as well as waxing, manicures and ear piercing.

The chairman of Apeetogosan, Randy Frye, speaks highly of Vanderstar and the success of the business.
