About me

I am a licensed cosmetologist with hands on salon floor experience at Tricoci University and Meraki Room Chicago. Creative, detail oriented, and passionate about growing within a professional salon environment. Brings prior salon stylist assistant and front desk experience. As a passionate beauty professional, I've discovered my true calling in transforming hair and creating stunning looks that empower my clients. My journey through cosmetology school has been more than just learning techniques—it's been about finding a family and developing my artistic vision. With a keen eye for color, balayage, and creative styling, I bring both technical skill and genuine enthusiasm to every appointment. My favorite services to do include any type of blonding or coloring services!! There's nothing more rewarding than seeing the confidence and smile on a clients face after a service, and being able to uplift them and make each and every client feel beautiful and confident from within!

Why I'm here

My goal is to continue growing as a beauty professional, pushing the boundaries of creativity and technique. Winning the Beauty Blitz competition was a pivotal moment that reinforced my passion and potential in this industry. I'm committed to continuous learning, mastering new skills, and creating transformative experiences for my clients that go beyond just a haircut or color. I would love to join an assistant/training program to further refine my skills and continue my journey as a beginner stylist! I am particularly interested in learning more advanced coloring and lightening techniques as this is my greatest skill and the services I enjoy doing the most.
