About me

Hey, I’m Claire! I’m from a teeny town in Minnesota called Glenwood but I’ve lived in the Twin Cities for three years and consider this my home. I have a bachelors degree in biological chemistry with a minor in music. I worked in the field for four years but missed being able to be creative so I finally decided to pursue a career in then beauty industry! I love live music, hiking, coffee, memes, and cooking. I love sharks and my guilty pleasure is a super cheesy shark attack movies. I thrive in a positive and encouraging work environment and look forward to working in a salon with fun coworkers who push each other to be creative.

My work

Why I'm here

My passion for hair and makeup began when I was in high school when I started expressing myself with emo bangs and wayyyy too much eyeliner. My style has evolved since then, and along the way I always remembered the stylists who not only helped me achieve the hairstyle that fit me best, but also walked through the highs and lows of my life with me. I want everyone who sits in my chair to feel safe, loved, encouraged, and to leave looking and feeling more like themselves. I look forward to pushing the boundaries of my creativity as I grow as an artist.
