Interview with Tracy Ramos
Tracy Ramos is the Director of Community & Brand Partnerships at Sola Salons and a former independent hairstylist. Her work focuses on education, access, and business support for beauty and wellness professionals. Growing up in her mother’s salon, she saw how her mother, a Costa Rican immigrant, built a business while managing the demands of working for herself. That experience informs Tracy’s efforts to make professional opportunities more accessible. Her career includes delivering bilingual classes, bringing ASL interpretation to a live hair show at PRAVANA, along with developing hair-type inclusive certifications and helping create Wella’s Curl Craft program. At Sola, she connects independent professionals with brand partnerships, education and resources to build sustainable businesses. Tracy speaks on Latina leadership, inclusive education, and creating a career with a life outside the salon.
