stylist

tell us as your background as a stylist?

I’ve been doing hair for 5 years, I went to hair school straight out of highschool because I couldn’t wait any longer to start my career. I have assisted La trained colorists and have loved hair since before I even started school ! When I was little I had an obsession with cutting and coloring my barbie’s hair. I love doing lived in colors, balayage, custom color, extensions, bouncy blowouts etc.

what drives you?
Other than my passion for doing hair I would say my mom is my main inspiration to want to succeed in the hair world. She’s always taught me to work hard and when you’re done with that, to work harder. She’s been my biggest cheerleader in life and has always been such a hard worker.

what makes you smile?
Lots of things make me smile but I would have to say my friends and my dog are the things that make me smile. My puppy Winnie is always doing something cute or funny to make me smile, and I’m definitely obsessed with her.

favorite rock star?
I love oldies but I think Stevie Nicks is my favorite (if she’s considered a rock star lol). I think she’s the coolest and I love Fleetwood Mac.

favorite movie?
I literally have a list of my favorite movies on my phone because I cannot just pick one, but my favorite genre is for sure 2000’s rom coms.

favorite food?
My favorite foods would be sushi and grilled cheese but definitely not at the same time.

favorite place to eat?
Anything with sushi or margaritas and tacos.

at 5 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I was convinced I would become a fashion designer.

cocktail of choice?
Might be super specific but a skinny margarita with casa migos reposado and a tajin rim.

dinner with anyone? who would it be?
Vince Vaughn because I think we would never run out of things to talk about and he’s super funny.

what do you do on a Sunday?
Everything under the sun! I get bored so easily so sometimes it’s brunch or a concert or something more lowkey like laundry and the beach.

favorite saying or quote?
Everything happens for a reason.

what do you like to do on a rainy day?
Wish and hope for sun lol!

what animal would you be?
A cheetah!

would you take the truth or the dare?
The truth - I am too scared to do too many dares.

what brought you to the house salon?
Aside from Lauren (I am so thankful that she brought me here), I would say just the wonderful group of people who are so motivating and hardworking. A funny thing that I realized about the house is that years ago it used to be a 24 hour fitness, and my mom actually used to take me and my sister here for daycare while she worked out! So it’s kind of meant to be that I ended up here 20 years later!
