Sanela started her cosmetology career in Bosnia at the age of fourteen. Eager to grow her skills and abilities she moved to Germany, where she was able to connect with an entirely new way of styling. After gathering eight years of experience in Germany, Sanela moved to the United States and right away made a name for herself through her dedication to her craft.

She has been working in the industry as a stylist for over 30 years and licensed in Massachusetts since 2001. In addition to her continuing education with both Goldwell and Oribe, Brazilian blowouts, Sanela also attends the annual IBS Hair Show in Chicago, IL and competed in the 2017 Goldwell international Color Zoom Challenge.
