  • Sonia Mambru is a distinguished licensed hair beautician, stylist, and natural hair consultant, widely regarded as a leading expert in the Washington, D.C. Metro area. As the proud owner of SONIA Dominican Hair Salon, LLC in Woodbridge, Virginia, Sonia has built a reputation not only for her unparalleled skill in hair care, but for her deep passion for holistic wellness and natural beauty.

    A native of the Dominican Republic, Sonia’s commitment to the art of hair care runs deep, drawing on her cultural heritage and a profound understanding of trichology—the science of hair and scalp health. With over 31 years of experience in the cosmetology industry, she specializes in hair rejuvenation, restoration, and the prevention of hair loss and damage caused by environmental stressors. Her unique, client-centered approach embraces natural treatments that nurture both the hair and the spirit, offering a refreshing departure from conventional beauty norms.

    Sonia’s expertise extends beyond the salon, as she is a professional business model associate for the renowned Fashion Urban Magazine and a valued advisor for MIGHTY Magazine of Washington D.C. Through these platforms, Sonia not only showcases her beauty and modeling work but also shares her insights on mentorship, salon practices, and the transformative power of holistic hair health. Her approach empowers women of all ages—from young girls to silver-seasoned seniors—to embrace their natural beauty, with a special focus on Afro-Latin, African-American, Asian, and Indian hair.

    What sets Sonia apart is her ability to revitalize all hair types, ensuring that each client leaves her salon feeling confident and radiant. Her holistic approach to beauty includes teaching women how to harness the strength of their hair through mindful nutrition and the use of plant-based products, while also fostering an inner connection to their feminine energy. Sonia’s ultimate goal is to help women overcome personal challenges that may affect their appearance and self-esteem, empowering them to embrace their authentic selves.

    Beyond the salon, Sonia actively engages in community outreach, hosting workshops, beauty seminars, and hair shows across the country. Her public speaking engagements inspire women to reconnect with their natural hair and bodies, and to cultivate a lifestyle that promotes inner beauty, positive thought, and a harmonious balance with nature.
