About me

Welcome to the cool kids club. My name is Heather and I am a hairstylist, colorist, and educator with over a decade of experience in the cosmetology field. Throughout my career, I’ve built a wide range of skills. I have had the opportunity to manage and inspire teams in corporate settings, create a personal brand as an independent stylist and recreate my brand as a suite owner.

My true passion lies in education. I thrive on challenging stylists to find new ways of thinking, creating individual techniques and strategies to achieve high quality results authentically to their personal brand. As an educator, my goal is to ensure every stylist feels seen, heard, and empowered. I want to help others build confidence behind the chair while embracing their most authentic selves.

You may not know me yet, you may not have heard of me, you may not have seen my work, but once you do, I promise you won’t forget the experience!

Becoming an educator has been a dream of mine since the start of my career.
