Dianna Thomas-Weder

 Dianna has been in the beauty industry for over 19 years. Education and staying current is key to a successful career.   She focus's on color and cutting with an emphasis on weddings and special events!


Growing up in the St. Louis area and obtaining an accounting background and then making the move to the South to Tampa/St. Petersburg, Florida where she completed her education of cosmetology and met her husband Tommy! She never looked back and they made the move to New Orleans where she owned Salon D NOLA in the historic French Quarter.  


New Orleans allowed her creative vibes to flow and she wants to share that with the coast too. Her experience as the owner gave her many great opportunities to work with many large events and weddings for guest from around the world. She has many wonderful memories, but it was time to find a more peaceful life after the pandemic.


Now she is here on the beautiful Mississippi Coast with Tommy and their little schnauzer Beauregard aka "Beau". She is excited and looking forward to making new friends and adding a little sparkle to the coast!
