​
What do you love about your craft?
I love the ability to make a woman feel confident and beautiful. I really love when I finish someone's hair and they tell me they are not going to make sure they can go out that evening so people can see them.
​
What charitable organizations do you feel passionate about?
I will always support any organization helping children or empowering and helping women.
What have you learned from your clients?
I have learned to not only listen but to read between the lines. I think it is important to ask about life style and what their lives look like.
​
What do you specialize in?
I specialize in blonding, precision bobs and pixies.
​
What should clients look for when they are shopping for a stylist?
A client should look for someone they feel really listens to their wants and needs. As well as someone who is continuously working to learn their craft. I believe that learning never ends in cosmetology and I strive to attend classes to learn new techniques.
​
What are the upcoming trends?
Trends are always being recycled and I think we are heading towards more blended and healthy styles.
​
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration through other stylist and social media. I love to observe and watch other stylist work. I also love to scroll through social media (TikTok, Instagram, and facebook) to see new techniques I can try and incorporate.
​
How do you spend your time when you’re not kneeling deep in your craft?
I spend most of my time with my husband and two little boys. We love to go for walks to the park and to take fun adventures. I also do love to stream some good tv to wind down after a long day.
​
Why are professional products important?
Professional products are important because it is what we can use to insure that the integrity of our work and your hair will be there.
​
What is your favorite shade of lipstick?
I'm not so much of a lipstick girl. I am more excited for a good creamy and glossy chapstick.
