Meet Gissel Ivette, Founder and CEO of Sunstone Beauty Bar. She founded Sunstone March 2022 with the dream of bringing affordable luxury services to the borough of The Bronx.

Gissel graduated Atelier School of Esthetics 2019. Since then, she has dedicated herself to learning & mastering the art of beauty. Esthetics school wasn’t Gissel’s first interaction with beauty and self care. The women in her family owned and managed their own salons in the Dominican Republic and The U.S. She basically grew up washing hair and scheduling appointments for the women figures in her childhood. One of her core memories is “Being around so many confident, powerful women”…Those women eventually becoming part of her family and her community. This is why for Gissel, her client care is top priority at Sunstone!
