I'm a Licensed Master Cosmetologist with over 18 years of experience specializing in luxury extensions and non-surgical hair replacement. My passion for hair design began at age eight in Oakland, California, and has evolved into a career dedicated to helping clients feel beautiful and confident. I pride myself on providing personalized, luxe experiences in a peaceful atmosphere where each client feels valued. My expertise spans salon management, stylist training, and cosmetology instruction. I'm Bellami certified and committed to staying current with industry trends. Beyond styling, I'm driven by the transformative power of helping clients regain confidence after hair loss, whether from medical conditions or personal challenges. My journey has taught me resilience, business acumen, and the importance of building strong client relationships.
