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. Color melts 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 everchanging 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.
