Raissa Patton

Declaring to her parents that she wanted to be a "barber" at the age of 4 with a Summer work permit, Raissa began working as an assistant in a hair salon in New Jersey at the age of 12 (sweeping hair and making coffee!). She completed her cosmetology and barber training and began to work in a salon. Her employer, acutely aware of her talent and drive, promoted her to manager. Just a few years later Raissa began experimenting with other areas of her chosen field first by becoming an educator within the field and later she began to do hair and makeup for commercials as well as industrial video all leading her to Hollywood, Ca where she relocated in 1998 and began the next incarnation of her career and life long passion as a TV and feature film hairstylist.
