To say I am fascinated with hair would be an understatement. To me, my career as a hairstylist jas been a conscious choice of growth, determination, skill, and passion.

My approach to hair is that it should never feel like it’s trying too hard. My dream is for your hair to reflect who you are as a person and that it should always be your best accessory. The many iterations of blonde (Golden… Strawberry… Lived-in!) have become my true color calling, and I am proud to call myself a blonde specialist.

My endless curiosity and quest for knowledge has led me to the world of extensions. It’s incredible to me that I have the ability to enhance not only the shape and color of your hair but the texture, length, and even the fullness of all types of hair. I offer various extensions, wefts, tape, individuals, and Combline.

Part of my learning and creative expression has come from joining Jon Reyman’s New York Fashion Week team in 2009; what a dream!

My experience does not end behind the chair; being surrounded by this constant creative energy has also led me to step outside my comfort zone and pick up a camera. Seeing beauty from both sides of the lens is an exceptional experience.

I am inspired every day by the coworkers I surround myself with, the stylists I follow and am proud to call peers. and by the clients who sit in my chair. Who knows?! Maybe one day, you will end up on my very own publication as a part of my fantastic career journey.

All this to say, I am most proud of my growth. I had a choice: I could either be a stylist behind the chair, or I could have the career I have always dreamed of.
