Beverly Brunkhurst
Level 4 Stylist, Propreitor
After 16 years as owner of Indulgence The Salon, and 39 years as a licensed cosmetologist, I continue to enjoy my profession and the gratification that comes with it.
My specialties include designing for my clients the perfect hair color that will complement their skin tones and lifestyles. I especially enjoy the challenge of corrective hair color. The greatest reward for me is having a client look in the mirror and exclaim, "I love my hair!"
In addition to my management and stylist responsibilities at Indulgence, I have worked for Goldwell Hair Color, teaching hair color seminars. I have also worked for Maly's, a professional beauty supply distributor, teaching motivational and business advancement workshops for salons and stylists. Currently Indulgence the Salon is proud to be a KRS Summit Salon. My involvement with the associate program has ignited my zeal to share my knowledge with the next generation of upcoming hairdressers.
In my spare time, I have participated in Toastmaster's International. I also like to get away to Palm Desert with my four dogs; Sammy my 2 year old Labrador Retriever, Casey a Labrador mix who is also a retired therapy dog and I rescued from Baldwin Park, Charlie a Retriever mix whom Corina found, and Barney who found me in my neighborhood, a Spaniel mix.
Thursday through Saturday, you will find me at Indulgence, continuing to help make the Salon welcoming and comfortable, a place where all who enter will find a staff ready to indulge them.

I am inspired by patterns, shapes, music and colors in the world. I like to bring them back into the salon to create unique colors, and cuts. I challenge myself to do more and to be more. I am my best and worst critic and feel the need to always please each and every client that sits in my chair. The most enjoyable aspect of being a stylist is bonding with my clients.
My favorite part of working at Indulgence is the people that I meet! I enjoy the connections that I have made, and I appreciate the trust that my clients have given me. I aspire to make my clients feel rejuvenated, refreshed, and relaxed.
I am a certified Hair Locs Technician.

Corina Durazo
Level 2 Stylist/ Associate Education Director
Aside from being creative, I believe my approach is one that is built off of relationships! I take my clients for who they are and what they are about and design looks customary for them! People and music are what inspire me the most! When coloring your hair for the first time I say, Go for it honey! Now a days there are so many options to color even a little goes along way!
I use caution not to give away someone’s signature look! I design and harmonize the overall vision per guest. It's the relationships I build with my clients, I don't just service , I create a life style.

Grisel Nunez
Level 1
My motivation is knowing that I am able to make someone smile or give them a boost of confidence. Reggae music inspires me! I enjoy the vibe, the culture, and the idea of giving back to your community.
I love everything that has to do with hair; when the client loves the haircut you gave them or when they can't stop smiling because of the color transformation you did. One of the greatest feelings of joy and accomplishment for me is when the bride on her wedding day can't stop hugging and thanking you for making her look amazing!
What I get out of my clients is a relationship that you cannot get anywhere else. It is a bond that cannot be broken.

Toni Fountain
Level 1
After several years working in commercial real estate, it became apparent that my creativity wasn’t challenged; I needed something more gratifying. Fortunately, with the unselfish support of my husband and family, cosmetology became a second career for me, and I haven’t looked back since.
The Cosmetology program at Bellflower Adult is the foundation of my training, and I’ve continued to train with classes from: Vidal Sassoon, Goldwell, Redken, American Crew, Pureology, and KMS Upstyling. I am a Certified Pureologist and Brazilian Blowout Certified. In addition to your hair care needs, I also provide waxing and threading services.
As I continue to build my clientele, I’m eager to meet new people, new challenges, and new opportunities. Most importantly, I’m excited to consult with guests and confidently provide them their desired look --- this is truly the most rewarding aspect of this profession.
I look forward to meeting you and thank you for visiting Indulgence, The Salon website!
