About me
I'm Billie, or Sobe, a gender non-conforming cosmetologist passionate about creating a safe, inclusive beauty experience. My approach goes beyond technical skills—I believe in empowering clients through personalized styling that celebrates individual expression. Specializing in alternative color, nail art, and treatments of the skin and hair, I aim to craft transformative looks that boost confidence and allow people to authentically showcase their unique identity.

Why I'm here
As a genderqueer beauty specialist, I'm dedicated to challenging traditional, gendered beauty norms and creating a judgment-free space where everyone can explore their personal beauty freely regardless of gender identity. My goal is to continue learning, growing, and developing techniques that honor diverse expressions of beauty. I'm committed to using my skills not just as a technical craft, but as a form of artistic and personal empowerment.
