During the course of her career, Diana studied at Vidal Sassoon Academies in San Francisco, Toronto, and London. She owned and operated a salon in Annapolis for a few years before becoming a partner at Headlines in 1984. Eventually she assumed full ownership in 1989.

"I love the salon business because it's a wonderful way to reach out to people and to help them feel better about themselves," Diana says. "It affords the opportunity to be creative--and at the same time, be of service to others."

Under Diana's leadership, Headlines has received four awards from the prestigious Salon Today magazine, honored four years as one of the nation's top 200 salons. "I always thought it would be great to be recognized for my creative work--for my photos and haircuts," Diana says. "My creativity is my passion. It's what drives me. Yet I'm pleased it's worked out that I've learned to be a good business person, too."
