About me
I am a salon leader, stylist, and educator with over 25 years of experience in the beauty and grooming industry. Throughout my career, I have managed multiple salons and owned a men’s and children’s salon in the Milwaukee area, giving me a deep understanding of both the creative and operational sides of salon leadership. My approach is rooted in integrity, accountability, and empathy, with a strong focus on building healthy teams and delivering consistently excellent client experiences.
As a stylist, I bring extensive technical knowledge, adaptability, and intention to my work. My background includes working as a stylist at Hair Club for Men in Milwaukee, where precision, professionalism, and client trust were essential. I take pride in meeting clients where they are, creating calm and welcoming environments, and providing services that help people feel confident and cared for.
As a leader and teacher, I am passionate about mentoring and developing stylists at all stages of their careers. I believe strong education, clear expectations, and supportive accountability are key to long-term success. My leadership style balances structure with encouragement, empowering teams to grow their skills, take ownership of their work, and contribute to a positive, high-performing salon culture.
Education
Why I'm here
I am applying to Capilia Madison because it represents the next meaningful evolution in my career—combining technical expertise, client care, and purpose-driven service. With over 25 years of experience as a stylist, salon manager, educator, and salon owner in the Milwaukee area, I’ve built my career on transforming not just appearances, but confidence and quality of life. Hair loss is deeply personal for clients, and I am drawn to Capilia’s mission of providing compassionate, non-surgical solutions that restore dignity, self-esteem, and identity.
Having worked extensively with men, children, and specialized client populations—including my experience at Hair Club for Men in Milwaukee—I understand the emotional and psychological impact hair loss can have. This role allows me to merge my technical skills with my leadership background and client-centered philosophy in a more intentional, life-changing way. I am especially aligned with Capilia’s medical-adjacent, solution-based model, which focuses on results, education, and trust—not just cosmetic services.
Capilia Madison is not a traditional salon—and that is exactly what excites me. I am seeking an environment where professionalism, structure, ethics, and transformation are the foundation of the work. I bring strong leadership, advanced client communication skills, operational experience, and a deep passion for helping people feel whole, confident, and seen. I believe my background in managing teams, building client relationships, and delivering high-level service makes me a strong fit for a clinic that prioritizes integrity, results, and human-centered care.
