Why Hair: I love the mix of demands it presents. We as stylists have to think about so many elements at once; communicating ideas and interpreting them to manifest something real and tangible. We think about shape + color and how they affect one another. I have the ability and the privilege to make people feel great about themselves, and this is what I love about being a stylist.

Color Color Color! I love natural colors, eccentric colors and everything in between. I’m strongest in the realm of Balayage because it is technique driven and is the ultimate customization of color per individual. Colormelts of any kind are also something I love. There’s something forever beautiful about creating and seeing a soft gradient from color to color! I also love a challenge, color corrections are something that I enjoy working on because there is an unmatched satisfaction in being able to turn something unsavory into an “I love my hair” moment.

Continuing Education is a BIG deal to me. Our industry is ever-changing and there’s always something to expand on, something new to learn, or even a different approach to something you think you already know. I am forever an eager student, and I love that there’s always room to grow in our industry.
