When did you know you wanted to do hair? 

At a young age playing with Barbies and dolls... In highschool I always thought it was such a cool job and thought hairstylists were the coolest people. Then years after college I kept fixating on what it would be like to do hair for a living

What is your favorite service to provide?

I love textured cuts that move, soft layers on really thick hair, ribbony highlights with dimension, root melting, anything red or ginger, vivids, and even though they can be tedious—I love giving smoothing treatments because of how much I've struggled with my own hair over the years.

These services all allow me to create unique and customized looks that make my clients really happy and fulfill my creative spirit. Brows too!

What service are you technically the best at?

I think working with thick hair in general. Also probably slowly/gently lightening hair as not to damage it.

What service do you wish you could do more of?

Dimensional color—the highlight/lowlight/root melt combo. I love doing color to compliment a cut and/or someone's face. My confidence gets boosted when people love their result and I feel like I'm part of them loving themselves.

When meeting a new client, what steps do you take to make sure they end up with a result they love?

I try to let them explain things in their own words and sometimes use Pinterest to make sure we're on the same page. I also ask lots of questions and repeat back to them what were doing. Also making recommendations based on their desires regarding styling time and effort required

What has been your career high?

Corny answer alert... Being hired at the owl cove. I feel proud to be working with such talented, kind, funny, and genuine people.

What do you do in your free time?

Going out to eat, cooking/baking, walking/hiking, cat hangouts, trivia, yoga, movies.

What is the hair care product you can’t live without?

K18 & my Denman paddle brush

Who is your dream client?

Down to earth, tells a good story, will listen to and participate in cat conversations, is here for hair but also a hang, hates the patriarchy, willing to try new things and gives me a little creative freedom!

What do you never leave home without?

Headphones and chapstick

What is the best decade for hair?

Right now because there aren't any rules and so much diversity in texture/styling. There is no specific look in the 2020s and people really showcase their own personal style these days.
