I love the ART of hair and I feel incredibly thankful that I have found a career that resonates with me so perfectly. I love using hair as a blank canvas. I enjoy bringing a distinctive approach to draw out each clients unique beauty. Styling hair is an art and I love the process of transforming someone from start to finish.I understood early in my career that hair is not just an accessory, it is the key to feeling good. I have worked hard to master my creativity and distinct sensibility in my profession. Modern Salon Magazine has recognized my talents citing my unique inspiration and ability to blend innovation with classic design in styling hair.I also have the pleasure of working with a local photographer for photo and bridal shoots. My work in this area was recently featured in Inspire Magazine for hair and airbrush makeup. I enjoy staying on top of all new trends. That is where I get my shear inspiration. It has always been my personal goal to continue to grow and ultimately to excel, to inspire, and to share all that I have learned. For over six years I have traveled to many of the largest hair shows throughout the United States to learn and grow as a hair professional.When I'm not working, my spare time is spent with my family and friends. I also enjoy raising money for two charitable causes I am passionate about, St Baldricks for children with cancer and the Livestrong Foundation. Together, we can conquer cancer!The secret of my success in business has been to always exceed my clients expectations every time in whatever I do!
