Faces in business: Debra Ratzlaff

Title: Owner

Company: The Nail Room at My Salon Suites, 5275 University Parkway, Unit 104, Sarasota

What was the best business advice you ever received?

Love what you do and treat everybody like they are your grandmother or grandfather.

If you could choose another profession, what would it be?

Movie director. Because you can take people for short little journeys into good times, bad times, thought provoking -- to sum it up ... all types of human emotion.

What is the biggest risk you've taken in your career?

Every day is a risk. Because I am dealing with each client's health and well being. My job can be very precarious because of a client's possible condition and I don't want to do anything to harm a client.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you start?

Greece. It's the birthplace of western civilization. It's where it all began and how we got to where we are now.
