Summary

I have been a licensed hairstylist for 8 years and specialize in haircutting, fashion colors, barbering, and working with all hair textures. My chair is a judgment free zone with good vibes. My main goal is to be a safe space for people, especially in the queer community. Everyone deserves to feel good about themselves and I'm honored to be a part of that journey for them.
