tell us about your background as a stylist?

Like many hairstylists, I knew I was meant for this craft since I was a little girl! My career started in 2008 and has grown into the beautiful flower it is now with hard work, extended education and PASSION. Being creative and pushing limits is what drives me to challenge and better myself every day. I specialize in creative color, balayage, color correction, and extensions. I am a master colorist certified by Goldwell, Hair Shop master extension specialist, educator for Brazilian Bondbuilder, previously Pulp Riot and now Danger Jones. Being a platform artist really helped me grow as a stylist and now I continue to share that as a mentor for my assistants so they can grow into amazing stylists and business women.
