Jannelle Blackman-Jones exudes the satisfaction of a woman whose excursion into the highly competitive beauty industry is beginning to pay off. If she is yet to achieve all of the goals that she set herself, she has at least developed an encouraging momentum which, even now, affords her more than a modest feeling of accomplishment.
There had been a time, previously, when she had spent five years honing her skills as a nail technician at the now defunct Nicanie’s Beauty Salon. She learnt enough to be able to launch her own business in 2015, Urban Oasis Beauty Salon and Cosmetology School, at 235 South Road, Georgetown.
Along the way, Blackman-Jones had decided that, setting aside her decision to continually sharpen her own skills, she would also set herself the task of training other young women to be the best that they could be.
