My mom was the person who inspired me to enter the beauty industry. Watching the way she cared for others and the impact she had on people showed me how powerful this work can be. Seeing that influence firsthand made me realize that beauty isn’t just about hair — it’s about how someone feels about themselves when they leave your chair.

​

Knowing that I can help someone feel confident, comfortable, and good about themselves is what ultimately pushed me toward this career. Being part of that transformation, even in small ways, is what makes this industry so meaningful to me.

​

I’m especially drawn to color services. I love the detailed process behind creating the perfect result — from placement and formulation to the final tone. There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching the transformation unfold and seeing how much a beautiful color can elevate someone’s entire look.

​

Behind the chair, my vibe is trendy, approachable, precise, fun, and intentional. I love creating an environment where guests feel comfortable and excited about their hair while still focusing on the small details that make a service truly special.

​

My chair is a welcoming space, and I bring patience, love, and intention to everything I do. I want every guest to feel comfortable, cared for, and confident while they’re with me.

​

I find a lot of inspiration from my mom, who first introduced me to the beauty industry, as well as from social media and Pinterest. I love seeing new ideas, trends, and techniques and using them as inspiration while continuing to grow my skills.

​

Outside of the salon, I enjoy starting my mornings with a workout, spending time baking and cooking, and being with my family and friends. At home, life is also shared with my pets — my dog Cali and my cat London — who definitely keep things interesting.

​

My perfect lazy Sunday usually starts with a morning walk with my mom, followed by staying in my pajamas all day with coffee, journaling, reading, and watching movies — the perfect way to slow down and recharge.

​

Ultimately, I want every guest to leave my chair feeling confident, cared for, and uplifted
