About me

As a passionate cosmetology graduate from Paul Mitchell The School in Raleigh, I'm dedicated to exploring the transformative power of hair artistry. My creative approach blends technical skill with personal expression, allowing me to craft unique looks that celebrate individual style. With a flair for vibrant colors and innovative techniques, I'm committed to pushing the boundaries of hair design while creating meaningful connections with my clients. 

With two years of special effects makeup under my belt, I am confident in my ability to create innovative looks using a variety of materials. I love all things spooky and Halloween, the more gore the better!
