Owner's Biography
Dionne M. Hughes is a native of Richmond, Virginia and mother of two sons. She has 19 years of cosmetology experience and has been a salon owner for 12 years. She is the founder of Image Enhancement Center (IEC), which is a faith – based company…to enhance goals, visions and dreams of its team members. She views her team members as caterpillars when they first join IEC. As they develop through written exercises and workshops provided by IEC, she observes the transformation that takes place internally in each individual. After assisting them, she believes that they elevate to the level of butterflies which takes them to the next dimension of entrepreneurship. The founders’ knowledge and creative ideas of entrepreneurship has not been retrieved out of texts or articles. Giving no credit to herself, she offers all praise to God, her divine director and leader. As Dionne continues to elevate, she motivates the team members of IEC to take chances and be creative with doing new things. She believes to be an effective entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take risks, overcome challenges and keep (it) moving. As she moves forward in pursuing other dreams and desires that God has placed in her, her prayer is that the “butterflies” (entrepreneurs) of IEC will receive the knowledge and experience needed to launch successful businesses.
