Together, they co-founded&nbsp;&nbsp;DreamGirls&nbsp;&nbsp;Fine Hair Imports &amp; Salon, a brand dedicated to helping black women and men achieve long, healthy hair. Their innovative approach to hair care has garnered them a loyal following and led to the success of their Healthy Hair Program and 5-Step Healthy Hair Care System. With their salon locations in Sacramento and Los Angeles, the Thompson sisters have become renowned for their&nbsp;&nbsp;expertise&nbsp;&nbsp;and their commitment to shattering stereotypes surrounding black hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>FEMI Magazine: Natashia Bobbitt: Can you tell us about your journey from corporate America to becoming successful hair stylists and salon owners?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fueled by our shared passion for empowering Black women to love their hair, our journey started back in high school when we used to style fellow friends\u2019 hair for school dances out of our parent\u2019s garage. After college, we moved on to pursue corporate sales careers, but our passion for hair prompted us to pursue our higher calling and venture back into the hair industry. In 2006, we opened our first salon in Sacramento and our second location in Los Angeles, launching our Healthy Hair Care Program, an in-hair growth service. Our vision was to provide professional services and products to assist women in fostering their own hair growth. In 2020, we launched our 5-Step Healthy Hair Care System product line to provide a systemic approach to hair care- even from the comfort of their own homes and have continued to grow our business and expand our products ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read the Full Interview in our July\/August Queen\u2019s issue by&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.magzter.com\/US\/FEMI-Magazine*\/FEMI-Magazine\/Lifestyle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clicking Here!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can also order a hard copy of our July\/August Queen\u2019s Issue&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/femimagazine.com\/?page_id=1927\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here&nbsp;<strong>on the website!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the world of hair care, sisters Sharie Wilson and Tonya Thompson have made their mark as entrepreneurs, hair stylists, and salon owners.
