Meet the Team

  • Bernadette

    I am Bernadette .and I’m a stylist and salon owner in Bucks County, PA. I was born and raised in Philadelphia in the Port Richmond area.

    Being a hair stylist has given me a creative outlet and a place that I can be myself. I have always known that I would take this career path, but never dreamed of all the amazing places it would take me. Since 2020, I went from working in a big salon setting to being a salon suite owner and now commission salon owner. It was the best decision I’ve made for my career and my family and I couldn't be happier.

    In my free time I enjoy listening to music with my husband, DIY projects in my home and I volunteer for the local girls basketball league in my area. This allows me to see my girls play and also be a strong role model for young girls in my community. During the shut down I did a number of home improvements which gave me some peace while not being able to be creative behind the chair. I have a growing collection of vinyl records, band tees and concert ticket stubs dating back to 1994. Besides singing in the car, one of my favorite things to do is seeing live music!

    I’m an on again off again runner and pre-Covid I enjoyed group fitness and spinning. I’m currently addicted to Orange Theory Fitness, I rejoined in August after a nearly 3.5 year hiatus. I forgot how much I loved it and now I can’t get enough.

  • Carmela

    Hey, Curlies! I’m Carmela Dipasquale, an Italian American girl born and raised in Philly. I traveled a lot back and forth to Italy most of my life to visit the other half of my family, it is my favorite place to go! Growing up I always knew I wanted to be in the beauty industry. I just love all things beauty, whether it be beauty, fashion, hair, makeup. Being behind the chair I feel that I can be my truest self each and every day. My hair story began in a well-known local salon in bucks county where I assisted all the amazing stylists and apprenticed under the owner. I started off by specializing in cutting and now I’m ready to get my color game on. I always had a love for curly hair, being a curly girl myself I understand you girls trust me! I strive to teach you how to love your curls and embrace them. I know having curly hair can be a challenge at times so I’m here to help you through your struggles so you can keep away from the flat iron and get out the diffuser. Now my journey begins here with Bernadette and I am so excited for this next chapter of my career. Finally living my dream working hand in hand with another curly hair specialist and together we’re gonna kill it! In my free time, I love drinking espresso and cooking my favorite traditional Italian meals. You can also find me shopping or spending time with my family, friends, amazing boyfriend Michael, and our little Frenchie pup Dolce! I also love to run, dance, and stay active. Another little fun fact about me is that I’m bilingual, I speak Italian and English. Anyway, I look forward to meeting you all and having you in my chair, helping you with all your curly hair needs!

  • Angelina

    Hi everyone I’m Angelina! A stylist born in Northeast Philadelphia and raised in Bucks county. I’ve always been very creative and had an interest with style. I am the go to person in my family for hair and makeup. It was always natural to me and I loved making everyone feel beautiful and confident. I entered the Beauty community in 2019 when I took summer night classes to get my makeup certificate, then started cosmetology school in the fall! Once I graduated in 2020 I started at a family owned salon as an assistant shampooing for the stylists! I then was an apprentice under the owner of the salon learning cutting techniques and color from educational classes. Being behind the chair give me such a sense of peace. I love having creative direction, making people feel heard and seen, and provide them with information they can use to do their hair at home!

    When I’m not behind the chair I’m often with my family, friends, and my amazing boyfriend Dylan. I enjoy listening to music and going to concerts, traveling to new places, and signing along to the occasional Disney movie! Every time I travel I make sure to bring home a souvenir to signify my favorite part of the trip! Recently I traveled over 1,000 miles to attend a concert and was able to bring home a signed poster! A new goal in my life is to do things that make me uncomfortable to help me grow and try things I might have never known I enjoyed!

    I’m a newly addicted fitness person! I enjoy everything from stretching and yoga to weight training and even using the sauna. I love the feeling of clarity I get after a workout that will last me the rest of my day!

What our Curlfriends are saying….

  • “Bernadette is the stylist I’ve been with the longest and there is a good reason for that! She is precise, thorough, thoughtful and highly skilled. I have curly hair and she knows exactly how to keep it looking its best, no matter what style I choose. Cannot say enough good things about her. Highly, highly recommend!”

  • “Carmela did an absolutely FABULOUS job on my hair! I walked in with it overgrown and the incoming gray making me feel just OLD. I walked out feeling like a new person! Carmela subtly reduced the overwhelming volume with a great cut and touched up the roots with an overall glaze that gave it shine and life. I have been getting nothing but compliments since! For anyone wanting to embrace their curly hair while making the absolute best of it, make a visit to Carmela. You will not regret it”

    Debbie

  • I wish I could leave more stars. They are so nice and friendly. I have always struggled to embrace my curls and Bernadette completely transformed my hair. I have never gotten so many compliments. She is really knowledgeable and takes her time to answer any questions. I highly recommend this salon!
