Angela Cattaneo, the founder of Beyond the Ponytail, has been a stylist for 23 years, and she remembers the exact day she began building her @beyondtheponytail community. “I started Instagram on October 19, 2015,” she shares. “I was very into advanced braiding, and I started tagging all the industry pages and my work was getting featured. It was an incredible feeling having my work recognized.”
