tell us about your background as a stylist?

I have always loved everything hair and beauty ever since I was a little girl. I remember cutting my dolls hair, dying barbies hair with food color and playing with make up since I could walk.  Although I always loved hair, I didn’t realize cosmetology was an option out of high school and instead went to Cal State Long Beach for my undergraduate degree, which I got in Communication Studies. After college I worked in Public Relations, but just wasn’t really happy. That led me to enrolling in cosmetology school. I got my license in 2014 and assisted for a year before I started working behind the chair. Getting my cosmetology license has been the best decision I ever made.

I love being able to help make people feel and look beautiful. I enjoy doing both color and cuts, but would say my specialty is blonding and dimensional, lived in color. I also love short hair cuts, like pixies!

what drives you?

Watching my parents work so hard to give me a great life, I want to make them proud. I also love feeling like I have a sense of purpose and working in the salon helping people feel good inside and out, does that for me.

what brought you to the house salon?

My friend and coworker, Maria, is the main reason I am at the house salon. She spoke so highly of the salon and the owners, Jayne and Andrea, and I knew I had to come see for myself. Everything she said was true, The House is just an amazing space to work at. As a stylist, I feel so valued by Jayne and Andrea, and of course my coworkers.
