I’ve been a hairstylist since 2009, and from the very beginning, my passion has been about more than just hair. For me, this career has always been about helping people feel like the best, most confident version of themselves. I love creating those moments when a client feels truly seen, cared for, and beautiful.

Early in my career, I had the unique opportunity to travel across the country as an educator for the Brazilian Blowout Company, teaching salons and stylists how to properly perform Brazilian Blowout treatments. I spent nearly three years in that role, and the experience shaped me tremendously as both a stylist and an educator. It deepened my technical knowledge while reinforcing something I still believe today: expertise has the greatest value when it can be shared with others.

"Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value."

In 2012, I took the next major step in my career and opened my own salon. What began as a leap of faith became an extraordinary chapter of my life. For more than a decade, I had the privilege of owning and operating a salon, building a business, developing my craft, and creating lasting relationships with the clients who trusted me with their hair year after year.

Running my own salon taught me an enormous amount about business, leadership, service, and people. More importantly, it helped me understand what I value most about this profession: the relationship between stylist and client.

After more than a decade as a salon owner, I’ve reached a point in my life where success means something a little different to me. I’m entering a new chapter—one centered on simplicity, balance, and returning my full attention to the reason I became a hairstylist in the first place.

My clients.

By stepping away from the responsibilities of operating a full salon and choosing to work independently, I can focus my time and energy where I believe it matters most: behind the chair. My goal is simple—to provide each client with my complete attention, exceptional service, thoughtful consultation, and the benefit of everything I’ve learned throughout my career.

I want every appointment to feel personal rather than transactional. I take the time to listen, understand what you want, offer honest professional guidance, and create hair that not only looks great when you leave but works for your everyday life.

The setting may have changed, but the principles behind my work have not. I remain committed to continued education, technical excellence, integrity, and creating an experience where you can relax, be yourself, and know that you’re being taken care of.

Looking back, I’m incredibly grateful for everything that owning a salon gave me. Looking forward, I’m equally excited about what comes next.

This new chapter allows me to take everything I’ve learned since beginning my career in 2009 and bring it back to its simplest and most important purpose:

Taking exceptional care of the person sitting in my chair.
