LaTonya Saunderson, founder and co-owner of The Weave Shop (TWS), is a dynamic entrepreneur whose innovative weaving technique is revolutionizing the industry. Born in Brooklyn, NY, her family moved to Michigan when she was 4 years old. Growing up near Detroit, home of Motown, she naturally developed an interest in the music industry. Pursuing a career in the industry, LaTonya later moved to Atlanta where she discovered her true calling working for Touch by an Angel, a successful salon in the Atlanta area. Inspired and encouraged by salon owner Patricia Thompson, LaTonya, a licensed cosmetologist since 1994 and already a top stylist, decided to open her own salon with the help of her brother Kevin and his wife, Sharmeela. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs made starting a business easy for LaTonya: her mother Geraldine Withers is a Primerica financial services regional vice president; her brother Kevin Saunderson, a music legend, is one of the founding triumvirate of techno music; her father, now deceased, was a restaurateur and an owner of multiple real properties.
With an undeniable passion for hair care and the beauty industry, and by building upon a successful idea, the “express weave service,” The Weave Shop (TWS) was born. LaTonya wanted to provide clients with a reasonable and cost effective way to enjoy a great style—to look great for less! “There is no reason to pay hundreds of dollars for extensions. At The Weave Shop the base price for our service is just $50,” says Saunderson.
After opening her doors in a small office space (400 sq ft) with herself styling and a braider, Saunderson outgrew the space within four months and moved to a larger location in the Atlanta area. With the opening of her 3rd store in the metro Atlanta area, her brother and his wife embraced her vision and TWS’s potential, and became business partners. This joining of minds helped to transform TWS into a family owned business. Understanding the need to pass on her entrepreneurial skills to her daughter, Ijaaz Saunderson, an aspiring model and hairstylist in her own right, LaTonya brought her into the business serving the joint role of model and hairstylist: she is one of the faces of TWS and a top stylist. Another face of TWS is LaTonya’s sister Michelle, making TWS truly a family owned and operated business. Currently, in addition to the three locations in Georgia, there are three locations in Michigan and soon two more will be opened in New Jersey. “I want The Weave Shop to be all over the country”, says Saunderson.
With celebrity endorsements from Atlanta’s own Tiny (from Escape and Tiny and Toya), Risky (winner of Charm School), and Sarah Stokes (Making of the Band season 2), in addition to the Musical group OMG, The Weave Shop is the fastest growing hair extension salon in the United States. As the business continues to grow franchising opportunities will be made available.
Ambitious, goal oriented, a vibrant personality, and warm spirit is what makes LaTonya Saunderson the leader in her field today.
