Summary
Experienced hairstylist with 10+ year of experience. Starting from a Guest Service Representative role, I have exceptional customer service skills that have followed me to my career behind the chair. I enjoy becoming involved in other avenues throughout Tricoci to keep myself motivated. During my 10 years with Tricoci I have had opportunities with Recruitment, Salon Mentoring, and Brand Ambassadoring, all of which are a testimonial for my passion of learning. I am great with time management and maintaining the flow of appointments. I have a passion for short hair shapes that allow my creativity to flow, but enjoy the relationships I have created with my guests above all else.
