 Bliss
Elements Salon & Spa located

powerful shared vision of co-founders Sherell and Michael Flagg. With

will eventually lead to making a big difference, they patiently worked
toward their goal of one day operating a Green Day Spa. Sherell has always
been interested in decorating and design. Michael possesses an innate
inquisitiveness and ability to figure out how to implement ideas. Together

 Over the
past 10 years, more and more Black women have begun to embrace their
hair in all its ‘naturalness’ from afros and braids to funky
twists and locks. Sisters can be seen sporting their natural hair with
