About me
I am a recently licensed cosmetologist with a strong passion for hair, beauty, and creative self expression. Dedicated to providing professional, personalized services while continuing to grow and develop my skills within the beauty industry. I'm someone who loves horror, the grunge and alternative aesthetic, and anything creative. My love for horror naturally ties into my interests in the darker, edgy styles, and I love being able to bring that same creativity into hair, but always open to all styles. I've been doing hair for years, even before a license. Throughout COVID, I spent a lot of time practicing and working on myself, as well as doing hair for a few friends, and I've always had a passion for it. I've always loved art and being creative, so being able to create another form of art through hair is one of my favorite things. I especially love projects that involve dramatic changes, whether that's bold colors, cuts, or styles. The projects that take the longest are often the ones that excite me the most because seeing the final result makes all the time and effort worth it.

Why I'm here
I'm here because I want people who are already beautiful on the inside and out to truly feel that beauty on the outside too. I love making people feel good about themselves even if that means as little as changing it up with a haircut or style. Seeing someone's mood change and watching them leave with a bigger smile on their face brings me the biggest smile on my face and the warmest feeling in my heart. Knowing that whether its something big or small, I was able to help someone feel happier, more confident, or even just make their day a little bit better. That's what makes me love what I do.
