A little about me…

Hair and color have been a passion of mine since I was a kid. I don’t know where it came from but I turned it into a career that started in 2009 when I was still a teenager. My experience began at the prestigious Vidal Sassoon and Aveda institutes in San Francisco and New York. The philosophy behind the schools is simple: Teach a strong foundation to support consistent and creative work. Maintaining that foundation is key for me and my clients. I constantly stay current with industry and trend changes by attending annual advanced education seminars.

Another passion is connecting with people. I have a wonderful and loyal clientele who I advise with a realistic approach so they can achieve their vision.  It is wonderful to help my clients find their best selves with color and shape.

A life brings changes, visions evolve. I like to focus not only on cut and color of the appointment, but also on the long term relationship. New ideas are found through connection and collaboration.

Beyond the salon I am a mother of three incredible children who serve as my inspiration. My husband and I love to cook, hike, and wrangle our kids.
