Barbara owns Bell Arte Hair Studio and works as its hair extensions stylist and extension specialist. She has more than 20 years of hairstyling experience. Before moving to Tampa to establish the studio, she managed her father's salon in Naples, Italy, for several years.

Her extension work covers K-Tip, Tape-In, I-Tip and Micro Link methods, including thin hair transformations with secure, lightweight extensions and correction of poor blending, visible attachments or other installation problems.
