Staff Spotlight — Sonya to the Rescue

A staff member since 2006, Sonya has the sunny personality and beauty know-how to deliver a first-rate salon experience. What else would you expect from someone who took night classes to graduate high school a year early to jump-start her beauty career?

After graduating from Continental Beauty Academy, Sonya came directly to William Roberts Color Group & Salon. Starting as a part-time coordinator, Sonya's enthusiasm and perserverance quickly propelled her to full-time Stylist. Proving she can tackle any hair challenge with grace, Sonya recently conquered the Mullet — the dreaded haircut we all thought went the way of big-shoulder pads and Flash Dance inspired leg warmers.

Here's the story...

William Roberts Color Group & Salon is a family affair for Providence College hockey player Ian O'Connor, a client since 2000, along with brother Kyle. Mom Carolyn O'Connor regularly travels from Londonderry, New Hampshire to see Bill, and Andover-based Aunt Linda Lecomte ranks high on the list of long-term hair-color clients, having first visited Bill almost two decades ago in Lexington.

So you can imagine Sonya's horror when Ian showed up Christmas Eve, sporting a Mullet that hockey teammates thought would be a good idea. Ever the professional, Sonya sprung to action, and as the two shared tatoo stories, Sonya brought Ian's hair into the current century. Mom is forever grateful to Sonya for rescuing the family Christmas pictures.
