About
My focus is on hairstyling for weddings and special events.
I pride myself on my work, client service and personal touch.
I love what I do and am always willing to take that
extra step.  I team with several very talented make-up artists,
we travel to your location to make your day stress free. 

I’ve been a licensed cosmetologist since 1985 with very successful
businesses in San Francisco, Marin County and on a Cruise Ship
traveling in Europe and the Caribbean.  I took some time off to go
back to school and am also a certified paralegal and notary public. 
I really missed my creative side and returned to the beauty business 
to specialize in hairstyling “On-Location" for weddings and events. 
One of my specialties is using clip-in hair extensions to create unique styles.

I work with all budgets, and am very open to discuss yours! 

A trial is a great place to start... so please email me so we can begin the process.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Tips and Advice

A trial in advance is a must!   It insures peace of mind on your special day.
Bring along a photo of your dress, and any headpiece or hair accessories to be worn.
Be true to yourself - If a particular style makes you feel uneasy, don’t choose it. 
Walk around with your hairstyle for several hours to make sure it’s comfortable.
Wash your hair at least 24 hours before the time of the wedding/event, it makes it easier to work with.
On the day of the wedding make sure you and your bridal party wear button or zip-up clothes so you don’t mess up your style!
