When she's not cutting hair at Vinny's Barber Shop on North Fullerton Avenue in Montclair, Fonseca-Sabune, 32, faces off against other women barbers in hair cutting and styling competitions in the tri-state area.
She is preparing for her next competition — the Jersey Shore Barber Battle in Asbury Park, which is scheduled to take place in July.
"It's important for me to participate in competitions. I put in a lot of effort to get there," said the 32-year-old barber who is optimistic these feats will help her grow in her career.
Montclair resident Greg Pason, who gets his hair cut by Fonseca-Sabune, said, "A good barber is hard to find. It's great to have two in the same place."

Pason goes to Vinny's Barber Shop and gets his hair cut by Fonseca-Sabune and the owner of the shop, Vinny DiMarco.
The two spoke about Fonseca-Sabune's most recent competition that 33 competitors participated in — The Connecticut Barber Expo, which took place April 22 at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford, Conn.
"I was competing against some really good barbers from the area and ones who are like platform artists who give classes and go on stage in front of a lot of people and cut hair," Fonseca-Sabune said as she cut Pason's hair on a Tuesday morning after the competition.
The sky may seem like the limit now for Fonseca-Sabune as the competitions help her hone her hair skills and grow in her industry, but healthy competition wasn't always part of her life.
As a teenager and young adult in her early 20s, Fonseca-Sabune said she experienced a downward spiral in her life as the result of struggling with drug and alcohol addiction.
When she was 24, Fonseca-Sabune went to rehab hoping to get sober. She also wanted to be a better role model for her oldest son, Vincent.
"I had to quit all the stuff I was doing," she said. "My son needed me as a solid parent and presence in his life."
The idea came to her when she worked in a local laundromat. Fonseca-Sabune said women who worked in a nearby salon came into the laundromat one day to wash towels the salon owned.
They soon became repeat customers, and Fonseca-Sabune said she would see them quite often at the laundromat.
"They looked happy doing what they were doing so one day I asked them about what they do for a living. When they said they went to cosmetology school and learned hair, I thought that's something I could see myself doing," Fonseca-Sabune said.
"Once she started to get her act together, I saw a difference in her," said Fonseca-Sabune's friend Emmy Feyeux.
"She's not afraid to be different and put herself out there and compete," said Feyeux, who is also a barber, and works at Virile Barber Shop in Jersey City.
The two grew up together in Montclair. They met during a summer basketball camp at Montclair High School when they were 14. Their friendship was natural.
"We were both pretty goofy back then and bonded on that. We didn't take anything too seriously at the time," Feyeux said.
They remained friends throughout high school even though they went to different schools: Fonseca-Sabune went to Mount Saint Dominick Academy in Caldwell and Feyeux went to Montclair High School.
They enjoyed hanging out on Church Street in Montclair and sometimes were "a little rebellious," according to Feyeux.
They drifted apart after high school but remained friends. When they do see each other, Feyeux said, "It's almost like we never spent time apart."
Now the two are barbers and mothers. Feyeux has a son Elliott, 4 and Fonseca-Sabune has two sons, Vincent, 8, and Phoenix, 3.
"We push each other to do what we have to do as parents and as artists. We're both barbers, we're both moms, we've both struggled, and we both nerd out about barber equipment," Feyeux explained.
Fonseca-Sabune learns style tips from competitions. One day, Fonseca-Sabune hopes to own her own barber shop.
Do you really think everyone in North Miami Beach plays by the same rules when it comes to enforcing Civil Litigation within the courts? We think not.
As Private Process servers in North Miami Beach who perform service of process services locally and on a statewide and nationwide basis we see and hear all of the games played by people involved in litigation; mainly defendants and witnesses in North Miami Beach who avoid getting served with legal papers. For us a good portion of our time is playing "cat and mouse" with people or even "dog catcher" trying to leash a wild animal from running around the neighborhood in North Miami Beach. Not to say we are equating people in North Miami Beach with animals, yet many defendants and witnesses act that way when it comes to eluding process servers and service of process.
Most of the hurdles Process Servers are challenged by in North Miami Beach are based upon how people, defendants and witnesses try to make themselves immune from service of process. Many hide behind doors or exit side doors covertly. Many people even try to use gated communities, camera's at their doorway(s) and even use motion activated lights and video to avoid meeting a Process Server!
Interestingly, when Process Server engage security guards in gated communities they are generally helpful, but come holiday season when the guards are expecting tips, many become protective of their community residents so as to not piss them off and possibly lose their annual Christmas or New Year gift. Yeah, we Process Servers deal with numerous variables that all affect how service of process is made or not made. One would think the judicial process in North Miami Beach would be a bit more sophisticated by now but it’s not. Process Server's in North Miami Beach today are still dealing with the same issues presented to Process Servers from last century. The only difference is, there is more technology that assists defendants and witnesses avoid the inevitable.
Process Servers in North Miami Beach today are challenged by weather, timing and even dangerous circumstances. Don’t think for a minute Process Serving is an easy job or something that anyone can do. Process Serving services are performed by unique and highly talented professionals.
