About me

I'm a dedicated hair stylist and salon operations leader with over 15 years of progressive experience in the beauty industry. My passion lies in creating exceptional client experiences while building high-performing teams that exceed expectations. As a master stylist, I've built a loyal clientele of 80+ repeat clients and achieved the highest regional color service percentage. Beyond the salon chair, I'm a proud mom of six and wife to my best friend—my family inspires me to lead with authenticity and purpose. I'm committed to continuous growth, whether that's perfecting my craft, mentoring stylists, or driving operational excellence. My Connecticut cosmetology license reflects my dedication to maintaining the highest professional standards.
