I have loved doing hair ever since I was a little girl! I started out as a receptionist at a salon all thru high school. After that, I went to the Aveda Institute and graduated in 1999 for cosmetology. For the next few years, I was fortunate to work at a couple different salons and learn a ton in that time. Now I am doing what I love everyday!
What is your favorite style as well as what are your best technical qualities?
I love to make people feel and look beautiful for special occasions, or just any normal day! Coloring hair is also one of my favorite technical skills. The newest service at the salon is airbrush tanning. I really like to give people a bronzed look, in a safe way. Most important, I love to make people smile!
Special training you have had?
One special training I have done is to be certified as a Redken hair colorist. I was also trained with Aveda hair color line at the Institute and have also taken a bunch of continuing education classes there, and love going to them constantly. A few of us girls went to a Jen Planck class that was very eye opening and inspirational! I have attended a Bea Watson Class about hair styling that was phenomenal. We also have in-salon education very often, and just recently had a balayage class at the salon! We have also had some wonderful Dermalogica training! I am a certified eyelash technician, too. I also attend business classes. Along with the business classes, the list is long and endless. Education is important and fun to keep up with!
You spend your spare time doing what?
I spend my spare time with my husband, 2 girls and little boy. I love to relax and watch a funny Comedy when I have a moment!
Hotel or cabin?
Hotel!
Singing or dancing?
Dancing.
Cats or dogs?
Cats, but I do like puppies too!
What's on your bedside table?
On my bedside table, I have my phone and chapstick- I am obsessed with it!
What is your happy place?
I always say the salon is my happy place, but I love being with my kids too!
Words to live by?
Never say 'Oops" during a haircut and live everyday to the fullest!
