Summary

Professionally doing hair since 2005.

I’ve spent years perfecting my craft attending many hair shows, classes, and seminars throughout the US and Canada. The most rewarding was attending the Sassoon Academy.

I have worked behind the chair, taught cosmetology school, worked as a brand representative, and suite owner.
