About me

 Want to know more about me?I am a passionate, dedicated, and driven hairstylist. A graduate of Paul Mitchell, approaching one year in the industry this July. I’m based in the small town of Bakersfield CA. My passion for hairstyling began at a very young age, it’s hard to pin point an age because it’s as far back as I can remember. But I have stayed confidently on my path to this dream job the entire way. I attended a high school where “trade paths” were often overlooked. But I did not let that discourage me, I stayed focused on my goals, my dream career, and used high school to get a lot of experience in prom hair styles. I graduated high school and went straight into beauty school. I successfully completed my program, passed my state board exam within two weeks, and immediately began assisting with a top stylist in town to gain hands-on experience. Since then, I have remained committed to continuous growth by assisting behind the chair while also investing in advanced education, certifications, and classes. I am currently specializing in bridal and event styling, where I’m able to combine creativity, precision, and attention to detail to help clients feel confident for their most important moments. It fulfills every desire of my artistic heart! My life journey has shaped my work ethic and perspective. I was adopted at the age of nine, and while my early life came with challenges, I choose to focus on where I’m going rather than where I’ve been. One exciting part of having a new mom and sister was that they let me play with their hair! I started at nine and never stopped. I carry a strong sense of purpose, resilience, and gratitude into everything I do. I’m committed to building a career rooted in passion, purpose, consistency, and growth. My artists heart is loving every minute of adding color to peoples self image’s.

Why I'm here

Why pick me, you ask? What makes me different? Some people choose this career, I was created for it. As a young girl everyone called me an artist. I’ve always seen the magic and potential of colors different from other people, whether it was water colors on a canvas, crayons on paper, chalk on pavement, or colors in hair. This isn’t a phase or something I’m into right now, it’s who I am. This dream of mine started when I was about 9 years old. While others may have found this path in high school, or later on in life, I’ve been steadily growing into this career from the beginning. In high school I was always the go to girl for prom styles, my friends wanted hair cuts, I was the girl. Always learning, never saying no, and chasing what I love has grown me into who I am today.

That was my journey as a young girl, but the 21 year old woman I am today is now living her dream. I take chances on myself. I go after opportunities, even when the odds feel small. I know growth comes from putting myself out there. I’m not just passionate about hairstyling, I’m committed to learning, improving, and making the most of every opportunity that comes my way. I’m actually dying to learn all there is to know! What makes me different is that this isn’t something I’m trying out, it’s what I was made to do, and I love every minute of it.
