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.

ABOUT
While keeping a judgement free and no pressure atmosphere, I will work with you to find what is best for your hair type and lifestyle. I will guide you in the right direction for your ideal amount of maintenance while preserving hair health. I believe it's best to keep color and cuts simple and low maintenance. Whatever the method of application, I love the look of natural, blended color that grows out softly. I excel at foiling, blonde hair color, ultra-precise haircuts, and working with fine hair types. My clients appreciate my consistency, attention to detail, and my dedication to continuing education.
