Mina Jartu-Mantor is a natural hair stylist, wife and mother. I love to sew, design jewelry and accessories. I have been designing for over 10 years. My passion for what I do along with my culture has influenced my ability to design comfortable, confident, sophisticated and unique pieces. God has blessed me with the gift of creativity. When I am not styling hair, or designing jewelry, I enjoy fun time with my family and working out.
