Meet Bianca: Visionary Founder of Salon Diversions

Since opening Salon Diversions in 1994, Bianca has built a career that spans the globe. With experience in cities like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, London, and Rome, Bianca has honed her craft and gained a deep understanding of the beauty industry. Yet her heart will always belong to New Orleans, a city whose vibrant culture and warm people inspire her daily.

Bianca brings over 30 years of expertise to the beauty industry. She was a pioneer in the hair extension business, introducing the service to New Orleans long before extensions became mainstream. Her extensive training across Los Angeles, Atlanta, and London includes mastering various hair extension techniques and becoming a licensed instructor, teaching classes nationwide. This dedication allows Bianca to prioritize the health and integrity of her clients’ natural hair when recommending extension methods.

In 2022, Bianca furthered her business acumen by completing the prestigious Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program through Babson University. Now focusing on the salon’s operations, Bianca works behind the scenes with her manager to uphold Salon Diversions’ reputation as a premier destination in the French Quarter of New Orleans.

With a legacy of innovation and passion, Bianca continues to lead Salon Diversions with the same vision and dedication that made it a cornerstone of New Orleans’ beauty community.
