ABOUT VALERIE
VB MGMT is my three careers blending into one. My career journey started after college when I was hired to do research, pr and social media management at FOX Sports. There I was able to hone my skills in all social media platforms that existed at that time. I was also able to develop my attention to detail and organization skills. After 7 years in corporate America, it was time for a change.
I knew I was a creative soul and had always dreamed about being a hairdresser. As a hairdresser I have been lucky enough to be mentored by some of the industry’s most talented and influential stylists. Under Briana Cisneros, I was able to find my identity and what I wanted my career to look like. The hairdresser I am today is heavily influenced by Briana and all she taught me. I also was able to be part of her and the legendary Shannon Rha's launch of their education platform where I created their website, scheduled and managed their teaching tour, engaged and communicated with class attendees and managed the in class experience.
After two years with Briana in Los Angeles, I decided to pursue my dreams in Nashville, TN where I met Brian Hickman. I became a stylist at Local Honey and honed my craft even more and was able to start building my own brand, under the guidance of the most talented Brian Hickman. Brian taught me so much about the business, independent education and intentionality with other stylists. Brian brought me on to help him launch his own education platform, The Growth Patterns. I have managed both his online and in-person education since 2019 and continue to do so today, as he is the first client under VB MGMT.
