Sharon Bates - Tangles Hair Salon
Tangles is a full service hair salon providing hair care needs and products. Sharon is an extremely energetic, committed business woman. She gives freely of her time to ‘giving back to the community’. This is particularly evident through her main charity focus being the East Gwillimbury Women’s Show (proceeds go to the South Lake Hospital Cancer programs). Sharon is also very supportive of other entrepreneurs and networks, mentors and uses local businesses as much as possible. She is a natural leader, and her zest and enthusiasm to ‘giving back’ should be an inspiration for all of us! |
