MEET ANGELA DUPREE

Founder | Educator | Salon Owner | Entrepreneur | Industry Veteran

With more than 30 years of experience in the beauty industry, Angela Dupree has dedicated her career to helping individuals build confidence, develop professional skills, and create opportunities through beauty education.

Throughout her career, Angela has served clients, mentored aspiring professionals, built successful businesses, and established herself as a respected leader within the beauty industry.

As the owner of a thriving salon in Henrico County, Virginia, Angela recognized a need for education that extends beyond technical instruction.

That vision became Da Nail Trap Nail Academy.
