With a distinguished career spanning 13 years in the hair industry, my primary emphasis has always been on education. I've diligently pursued knowledge by attending numerous professional courses, enhancing my expertise in cutting, color and styling. For the past seven years, my commitment to education has extended to teaching all hair extensions methods, a field I'm deeply passionate about.
This dedication to training and my vision to empower hairstylists led me to establish and manage two thriving salons. The core of my professional satisfaction lies in forging meaningful connections with clients, helping them realize their unique hair aspirations.
While I've had the privilege of contributing my skills to prestigious events like New York Fashion Week and various photo shoots, my true fulfillment comes from nurturing the growth and potential of everyday hairstylists. Witnessing their progress and success is the most gratifying aspect of my journey.

Level 4 Mane Expert | Level 7 Energy
*** Vivid Color Specialist ***
**** Cutting Specialist ****
Like any true Aquarius, I’ve always marched to my own drum by constantly changing up my appearance, trying unique things with my hair from a young age. I’ve been doing hair since 2008, was also a hair educator, and am an American Board Certified Haircolorist. Short, edgy, and/or colorful hair is where I thrive, but I still love doing all hair. When I’m not behind the chair, I’m likely watching old Friends episodes with my husband and our Sphynx cats, or am trying to keep up with our sweet toddler, Holden.
