About me

I spent the first decade of my career specializing in blonding services and loved every minute of helping my guests achieve their dream hair. Unfortunately, I developed severe contact dermatitis, which forced me to step away from the industry for a few years while I focused on healing.

Recently, I was able to return to the beauty industry with a renewed perspective and a new focus on haircuts, bridal styling, and formal event hair. While my path has looked different than I originally imagined, my passion for this work has never changed.

Being behind the chair again has reminded me just how much I love connecting with people, helping them feel beautiful, and being part of life’s special moments. My heart has never felt fuller, and I am incredibly grateful to be doing what I love once again. ❤️
