MANAGER
Becca Semon
I’m a licensed cosmetologist who specialized early on with spray tanning and salon management. I have been in the cosmetology field for over twelve years before I decided to pursue my love for baking; leading me to become a pastry chef for four years. Only after working endless hours and perfecting my baking skills, I realized how much I missed the salon atmosphere, so I decided to give it another try. I was extremely lucky to finally find my home at 1051 Salon and Spa! It has brought me immense joy to work in an establishment with such a strong, passionate, and talented group of people who have entrusted me to be their manager. When I’m not working at the salon, I stay busy with another passion of mine, which is photography. I love taking photos and have turned that love into a small business, called NC Hot Spot Photography. I specialize in landscape, architecture and urban decay photography. You can find me on the weekends doing art festivals all around NC. Not only do I participate in a number of events around the community throughout the year; I’m also in charge of overseeing our salon’s annual She Rocks Cut-A-Thon. In addition, I happily belong to three local marketing groups and one women’s empowerment group. All of that being said, I’m beyond thrilled to have a seat on the She Rocks Organization board and can’t wait to represent our community!
