I fell in love with this industry the moment I finally learned how to truly manage my curls. Suddenly, everything clicked — not just my hair, but my confidence. Understanding texture, movement, and the way hair wants to live naturally changed so much for me, and now I get to help other people feel that same shift.

​

Acts of service is one of my love languages, so doing hair feels like the most natural way for me to care for people. It’s not just about the style — it’s the experience, the comfort, and the confidence that comes with feeling understood.

​

Curly cuts have become a full-circle passion for me. I know firsthand how life-changing it feels to finally love and understand your curls — so now I get to offer that same transformation to others. Highlights and balayage also have my heart. There’s something so soothing and artistic about the rhythm of foiling, toning, and watching everything blend into soft, seamless dimension. It truly feels like creating a piece of art, strand by strand.

​

One of the things I’m most proud of is my consistency and growth. Every year, I’ve become more confident in my skills, more grounded in who I am behind the chair, and more certain of the kind of stylist I want to be. Watching that growth unfold has been incredibly rewarding — both for me and for the guests who’ve been with me through the journey.

​

If I had to describe my vibe, it would be soft, caring, silly, and optimistic. I love being someone clients can relax with, laugh with, and trust — someone who brings ease and lightness to their time in the chair, while still being deeply committed to their hair goals.

​

One thing that makes the experience in my chair special is the space I create for pause. I love taking an extra moment with a warm towel before beginning a gentle hand massage — that cozy breath of stillness where guests can melt into the moment and truly unwind.

​

A fun fact that often surprises people is just how long I’ve been performing. I’ve been in choir, theater, and voice lessons since 5th grade, and singing has always been a huge part of my life. That stage time taught me confidence, connection, and how to show up fully — skills I bring with me behind the chair every day.

When it comes to inspiration, I’m always collecting it from everywhere: Pinterest, Instagram, TikTok, and the talented stylists around me. Creativity feels endless when you’re surrounded by people who love to learn and share as much as you do.

​

Outside the salon, I’m happiest in nature. Whether it’s hiking, beach days, or simple neighborhood walks, I love being outdoors and breathing deeply. I’ve also been working on my green thumb — and I’m proud to say I’ve kept two plants alive so far! Progress is progress.

​

When my guests leave my chair, I want them to feel relaxed, renewed, and genuinely cared for — like their hair is healthier, softer, and happier than when they walked in. My goal is always that gentle reset: fresh energy, fresh hair, fresh confidence.

​

My favorite motto sums it up best: “No rain, no flowers.” Growth takes time, softness, weathering, blooming — and I bring that reminder with me every day, behind the chair and beyond
