ABOUT
I strive to give my guests a look that suits their lifestyle, face shape, and hair texture. While I enjoy styling, cutting, and coloring both men and women, my passion is working with curls since my hair is naturally curly. I also love to educate my guests on the best products to recreate their look at home as well as experiment and make new cocktails with products. Being a hair stylist is not a job for me...it's my career.

ABOUT
It's all about how you, the client, feels when you walk out the door. I know that I have done my job if you feel good about hair service, you can duplicate the "look" yourself, and you have the proper products, tools, and knowledge when you leave my chair. Me? I love hair! I took some time to find the job that suits me best. I'm a "life experience" learner. I can express myself many different ways and give guests what they are looking for. My three kids, husband, and dog keep me busy when I'm not in the salon.
