Teresa Zanelotti-Whitten is a daughter, sister, mother, wife and Nonna (Grandmother in Italian). Teresa started her career in cosmetology at age 19. After working in several salons, she decided to venture out on her own. With financial assistance from her parents, Joseph and Doris Zanelotti, Teresa and her sister Joanie opened the first Julians Hair Designers in Camp Springs, MD (PG County). The year was 1981. At age 23 she had a lot of responsibility for being a salon owner and single mom. Over the years Teresa has employed many outstanding Hairdressers, Receptionists, Shampoo Technicians, and Stylist. She has felt the ups and downs of being a business owner. But through her travels she would never trade her profession for anything else. As Teresa says “What job can you do being creative and receive instant gratification on a daily basis.” Teresa says “This is an amazing feeling”. I love to work in all phases of hairdressing, but her specialty is hair coloring.
Over the years Teresa and her staff have continually given back to the community. Teresa was appointed by Governor Schaffer and served on the “State Board of Cosmetology” for 9 years. The salon has raised money for many different causes, one being Breast Cancer Awareness.

Over the past 37 years Teresa has participated in continuing education in her career. She carries a Senior Cosmetologist License which you receive after 2 years of regular license and testing by the State Board of Cosmetology. She has spent uncounted hours on continual education in her field.
