After several years in the industry, she undertook a two-year apprenticeship at Vidal Sassoon in Beverly Hills. Debora remained in Beverly Hills until fulfilling a dream of backpacking through Europe.

Debora works with clients of all ages, with a particular focus on men and women over 40. She enjoys creating sophisticated, new looks that help her clients feel confident through life’s transitions.

BIOLYTE

BIOLYTE is the first liquid supplement that offers the same benefits as IV rehydration therapy but in a drinkable form. The founder, a board-certified anesthesiologist, Dr. Luther C. Rollins, wanted to create a product that would bring the IV bag home to his wife when she was going through breast cancer. As she battled her cancer, she couldn’t keep up with her chemo treatments without getting IV bags because she was so dehydrated. Dr. Rollins used his experience in the hospital tailoring IV bags to his patient’s needs to create BIOLYTE, the first IV in a bottle.

Today, BIOLYTE helps everyday people relieve headaches, fatigue, and nausea due to dehydration. You can find BIOLYTE in over 20,000 retail locations across the USA.
