About me
Hey there, I'm Ellie!
I'm a jack of all trades kind of girl. Creative by nature, always curious and exploring new niches. Collecting certifications, and degrees as I go. Challenging myself to learn a new skill, or take on another hobby.
Since I was a kid, I have always been hungry for knowledge. Never wanting to settle for a mediocre existence, choosing to fill my life with as many experiences and opportunities I am afforded.
"Take Every Opportunity"
I think creativity is magic! So hair, beauty, cosmetology...it just made sense to try it, and I have fallen in Love!

Why I'm here
Well, I started coloring my hair as a teen and it just snowballed. Friends and family encouraged me for years to go get my cosmo license, but the timing and other life factors never lined up. So I put that dream on the back-burner.
Finally, I turned 29 and thought, it's now or never. So I stopped making excuses, ignored my nerves and took the leap!
It has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. I'm so proud of my progress and the gentleness I have developed toward myself. Knowing that perfection is not the goal. But finding, creating and sharing joy through this industry is what's most important.
I have worn a lot of hats over the last 10 years as far as careers go. Some people might look at that as a negative, but for me it has been the greatest gift.
Through all the different experiences, I have learned leadership, patience, confidence, advocacy for myself and others, the importance of strong relationships, to fail is to learn and that having fun is more important than you realize.
So here I am, Taking this Opportunity!
