Summary
I am a client-focused hairstylist with 12 years of experience. I specialize in balayage, dimensional brunettes, and curly cutting, with advanced color training and a strong understanding of Aveda color systems. I'm known for thoughtful consultations, active listening, and building long-term client relationships. I consistently hit retail goals by educating clients on what actually works for their hair and lifestyle. My goal with every service is for the client to walk out of the salon feeling like the best version of themself!
