I love being a stylist! I never really thought that I would want to follow in my mother's footsteps but here I am working in the salon and totally loving it! Growing up, I practically lived at her salon. Since I watched her do hair everyday, I figured it was something anyone could do....until I tried doing it myself! I realized that the skill that my mother had was well earned. I have since gone on to educate others to obtain that skill.
In the salon, I specialize in unique color techniques and formulations. I also enjoy a fun cut and style. I am certified in human hair extensions and continue to keep up with the newest cut, color, and trends.
"Any colorist can apply color, but a Color Expert can accurately formulate and apply your haircolor."
I worked as an educator for several years before I decided to focus all of that time and education back into the salon. I began my educational journey at Current Trends Academy, instructing and guiding other students. Soon after that, I became a certified Goldwell Haircolor Educator.
I educated for Goldwell Professional Haircolor for many years. It's the haircolor that I used in Cosmetology School! I had the opportunity to use Goldwell Professional Haircolor from beginning levels to the intermediate; from basic formulation to the corrective color service. I have been priveleged to work with Goldwell's notable platform artists at various events such as the Groupie Gatherings all over the country for Goldwell's invitation only events. Check out my most favorite Goldwell Event!
I have since switched color lines and now use Aveda color. I am passionate about the science and technology of haircolor and it's action on the hair. It is my desire that every stylist has a full working knowledge of how to expertly give their clients their most coveted haircolor shade.
Along with working in the salon, I also maintain my Cosmetology Instructor's license. The minute I stepped into that school, I knew education was for me. During my pursuit toward my cosmetology license I noticed most students had a hard time grasping the theory of cosmetology. Throughout my own schooling I sailed through my tests but noticed that others were struggling. That's when I realized I could be a huge help to these students and decided to pursue my Instructor's license. I love teaching theory classes (especially on haircolor!). My heart is for those who struggle with the "whys" of cosmetolgy.
