With two decades as a hair stylist behind her, Debbie Williams-Pappas knows she's made the right career choice. She got her stylist training in North Carolina and served with several salons before joining Headlines in 1992. She's also trained with world-renowned stylist Floyd Kenyata.

Like many of her colleagues at Headlines, Debbie had the urge early on to cut hair. "It just seemed natural to me," she says. "I cut my sisters' hair, my brothers' hair, my friends' hair--any willing taker got a haircut for the asking!"

Debbie has a large following of loyal clients who have been coming to her year after year. She specializes in cuts and relaxers for ethnic clientele.
