DONA’S STYLE

Elizabeth Pridgeon

Whether it is the latest style of perm, or a new look with highlights, the treat of a pedicure or an eyebrow waxing, Ms Dona Novelo at Dona’s Style in Orange Walk is the lady to help you achieve the image you’re looking for.

Ms Dona began beauty treatments fifteen years ago, when she began as an apprentice to her hairdressing cousin.  Realising her passion for the profession, shortly afterwards she enrolled in a beauty treatment course in Chetumal, commuting to the Mexican side every weekend for over six months in order to improve her qualifications.  A few years later, when her cousin closed her salon, Ms Dona decided to continue offering quality beauty treatments from her own home on Cinderella Street, so without delay she converted the front room of her house into a salon, and ever since she has welcomed customers there.

Dona’s Style opens from 8.30am until mid-day, and re-opens from 1.30pm until 6pm.  She offers bookings for those travelling from afar (of whom there are many that she considers regular customers) or customers can pop in and hope that the queue is not too long.  Yet as Ms Dona becomes better and better reputed as one of the best hairdressers in town, demand for her services continues to grow.

A range of services are offered, including hair cuts, styling, perms, highlights, tints, waxing, manicures and pedicures, and if a specific service is not offered, Ms Dona will do her utmost to accommodate her customer’s wishes.

Her favourite times of the year are during graduation season in the summer, and Christmas, when she rarely has a minute without one or another of her customers requiring her talent.  And with prices from $6 for a cut, $25 for a perm, and $15 for a pedicure, there is little wonder that Dona’s Style is one of the favourite places for hair and beauty treatments in Orange Walk.
