Style Sense: Veronica Lee Fletcher

Age: 44 
Occupation: Owner of Heaven On Earth Salon (1612 W. Sylvania Ave. 419-917-1268) and Licensed Cosmetology Instructor 

You cannot tell by her youthful spirit, lace blouse and form-fitting leather pencil skirt that the woman with the big wavy hair is in fact, a grandmother. The owner of a small, but successful, salon on Sylvania Ave., Veronica spends her days beautifying others while staying lovely herself, switching hairstyles with her outfits. There isn’t a look that this talented cosmetologist hasn’t tried— or isn’t willing to try.

How do you decide which item to buy and which one gets left on the rack? I’m a lady who is driven by color. If it pops, then I want it. I love the sun so I have to buy anything that is bright and catches my eye.

Do your jewelry and accessories compliment every outfit? Definitely. It’s always good to bring a bit of bling and sparkle to your attire. 

Where do you find the pieces that you wear? Sometimes I get items from my cousin, Sunshine (a fellow proud Toledoan), who is a traveling designer. Once a month she hosts a pop-up shop at my salon for her clothing line Deevaz & Diamonds.

Who is your ultimate fashion icon? Kimora Lee Simmons. After reading her book ‘Fabulousity,’ I realized that a lot of her style reminded me of myself. I am impressed with her business savvy.

What would you never get caught wearing outside of your home? I love wearing outfits that compliment my figure and personality, so I don’t ever wear sweatpants in public. I don’t really wear athletic clothing because I’ve always been into dressing up, even when I don’t have to.
