About me

Hi! I’m Mary 🤍

I recently graduated from cosmetology school and am officially starting my journey behind the chair! Ever since I was little, I’ve loved all things beauty, hair, and helping people feel confident in themselves.

I specialize in blonding, dimensional color, glosses, and soft, lived-in looks. I love creating hair that feels effortless, beautiful, and completely customized to each client. My favorite part of doing hair is helping my clients feel comfortable, confident, and excited when they leave my chair. ✨

I also have a huge passion for nails! I love doing Gel-X and nail art — the more detailed the design, the better! 💅🏼

A few fun things about me: I’m a huge coffee lover ☕️, I love anything green + girly 💚🎀, and you can almost always find me listening to music or looking for new beauty inspiration. I’m very detail-oriented and want every client to feel heard, cared for, and completely comfortable throughout their appointment.

Thank you so much for supporting me as I grow and begin my dream career. I’m so excited for this new chapter and truly can’t wait to meet you all! 🤍

Why I'm here

I’m here because beauty has always been more than just hair or makeup to me — it’s about confidence, self-expression, and helping people feel good about themselves. Ever since I was younger, I’ve loved everything about the beauty industry and knew I wanted a career where I could be creative while also connecting with people in a meaningful way.

Finishing cosmetology school was one of the biggest steps toward that dream, and starting this journey behind the chair means so much to me. I created this page not only to share my work and growth as a stylist, but also to build a space that feels positive, welcoming, and inspiring.

I want every client who sits in my chair to feel comfortable, listened to, and genuinely cared for. Whether it’s a subtle refresh or a full transformation, my goal is always to help people leave feeling more confident than when they walked in.

I’m here to grow, learn, create, and turn my passion into something meaningful. Thank you for supporting me while I build the career I’ve always dreamed of having 🤍
