Accomplishments

I obtained my Ouidad Curly Hair Specialist Certification in May of 2014. In addition, I also completed the Ouidad Product Knowledge Specialist training. Since my certifications my love and thirst for knowledge about curly hair of all textures has completely transformed my career. I am extremely passionate about curl education for myself as well as other stylists and my customers. I was motivated by the impact a curly hair specialist has had on my customers from all over the Central Valley in California, so much to the point where I decided to open my own studio which focuses soley on textured hair. I have also developed a plan for future growth over the next year to onboard more stylists who will specialize in curly/textured hair.
