Who We Are
 
 

Background / History
 
Oh! My nappy hair the salon became the brainchild of founder Rosario Schuler after she discovered a niche in providing natural (non-chemical) hair care services. "This is the hair that God gave us", she said.
 
"A qualified beautician should know how to deal with all textures of black hair." Rosario explained that black hair varies from extremely curly to straight textures, but she discovered there was no one accommodating these circumstances under the same roof. Thus, Oh! my nappy hair salon was born!

Owners' Bios

Rosario Schuler, a wife and mother of three, has paid many dues. Before founding OMNH, Rosario studied stage directing at UC Berkeley and received a BA degree in TV broadcasting from Cal State Long Beach. After working in her field of degree with notable radio stations and several major television networks, she "flipped the script." Entrepreneurship is the song of her soul, one may conclude, after hearing the list of business ventures Rosario has launched.       
Rosario's list of business' include a T-shirt Co., an employment agency, two businesses offering balloon decorating, vending and retail and her most grandiose endeavor yet,  Oh! my nappy hair salons Inc. Some of her other credentials include being an actress, stand-up comedian, photograher, interior designer and visual artist. Rosario has also served as member of the Bay Area Black Journalist Association(BABJA), chairperson of the National Association of Balloon Artists and chairperson of the Laney College Cosmetologist Dept. Advisory Board.  
 
Erica Blevins is a graduate of Clark Atlanta University. Initially, Oh! My Nappy Hair, was just an interim for the daughter of the OMNH founder, who was all but,  unfamiliar with being an entrepreneur. Before the pursuit of her college degree, Erica was much involved with the success of several of her family's businesses. 
As a teen, Erica received an award and grant from Oakland Youth Entrepreneur Program (OYEP) for the successful completion of an extensive business plan for her first buisness venture, called The Balloon Company. As she worked side by side with mother, Erica excelled in other programs, such as Junior Achievement (JA) and the Math, Engineer and Science Achievement Program (MESA). Although, her interest in broadening her horizons lead her to Atlanta, GA.  for college, Erica eventually returned back to California to join forces in the business and the family's latest endeavor.  While currently pursuing a dual master's degree, the legacy of Oh! My Nappy Hair Salons is only one more accomplishment, sparkling in her eye as she proudly proceeds forward. Erica is an active member on the executive board of Atlanta Natural Hair Care Professionials (ANHC Pro).
