Testimonials

  • Mandy Walia, Educational Assistant at West Credit Secondary School

    “In celebration of Black History Month, our peel high school had the pleasure of hosting the founder of JeRah Beauty Salon & Spa, and the presentation was truly outstanding. From start to finish, the session was engaging, informative, and professionally delivered. The presenter shared deep insights into the history of hair, the importance of black resilience, power and traditions and much more! This wasn’t just a presentation - it was an empowering experience that left everyone feeling inspired and more knowledgeable! I definitely recommend having JeRah Beauty Salon & Spa come to your schools to educate and empower our learners! Thank you again for an unforgettable session! We truly appreciate the time, expertise, and care you shared with us!”
