As she headed out to boot camp, the former high school cheerleader\u2019s parents didn\u2019t think she would last more than a week.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Wright proved her parents wrong and spent four years serving her country. During her time in the military, she served a tour of duty in Iraq, where she was a specialist in logistical vehicle systems, a job that required controlling traffic points during bomb searches at the Syrian border. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">After Wright returned to civilian life she decided to pursue cosmetology. Having grown up in Ballston Spa and with her family still in the area, Wright decided to return and open a business in the village.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Initially, Seraphina Divine Beauty was located on Milton Avenue. The space proved to be too big for her needs and when a location recently opened over on Art Alley, just off Washington Street, Wright took the opportunity to relocate. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Seraphina Divine Beauty has been open at its new location since Oct. 1.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Seraphina Divine Beauty offers haircuts, coloring and styling, and Wright specializes in styling hair for weddings and other special events. She also loves doing makeup and, in addition to doing makeup for individual clients, she also offers classes in makeup techniques. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThere are definitely two sides to my personality,\u201d said Wright. She has photos of her time in Iraq and she recalled that she would turn over two barrels or cartons and turn them into a makeshift salon, where she would give manicures and hand massages in between driving trucks and directing traffic.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI love what I do here and I\u2019ve been extremely busy,\u201d said Wright.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">A lot of her business comes from being a long-time member of the community and most people have heard of her new shop \u201cthrough the grapevine,\u201d she said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">For more information or to schedule an appointment at Seraphina Divine Beauty, contact Wright at 362-6991.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Maureen Werther Reading Autumn Wright\u2019s resume before visiting her hair and beauty salon, one\u00a0 might have a hard time believing that she is a licensed cosmetologist.
