I was born into the beauty world by chance, and I continue on by choice.

I have always had a deep passion for the beauty industry and the ability to create looks on people to emphasize their features and make them feel beautiful. Perhaps, the desire to create beauty comes from the long line of stylists in my family. Being the daughter of Jon and Lori, I was always exposed to the salon life and I grew up watching the salon become what it is today. The salon has been around longer than I have been. As a young girl, you would often find me and my siblings in the salon- folding towels and sweeping hair off of the floor which was a normal part of our after school day. I spent a good part of my childhood watching the stylists color and dress the hair- makeup was always my favorite part to watch. I was definitely the little girl who was always in trouble for testing out my mothers newest makeup. I took full advantage of being the salon test dummy for all of the newest products !

I have met a lot of men and women in the salon some of those who have known me since I was a young child. The relationships that I have built with my guests have always been very important to me. I feel that aside from creating looks for my guests, its important to have real connections with them.

My favorite part about working with hair and makeup is that I can create so many different looks for my guests. One person can look so different depending on their hair color, cut and makeup! Being able to accentuate the beauty of the women I work with is so powerful and inspiring to me. I love showing my guests that they can change it up and teach them how to work on accomplishing different looks at home. When my guests leave the salon, I want them to feel beautiful and confident- I know that when we look good, we feel good.

I have always dedicated a lot of time to learning, studying, and practicing my craft. I enjoy going to classes and getting as much knowledge and practice in as I can. I have traveled throughout the states to take many different training programs in the last 12 years. I have been through makeup artistry school and countless certifications and testing for both hair color, design, and makeup. My favorite training facility is The Redken Exchange in NYC where I have taken over 20 classes.

Education is a huge part of our salon system in general- as the director of education in our salon. I am constantly creating education plans and curriculums for our associates. I love teaching and working with them so that they can grow, which will create strong and well educated stylists.

I am a full time senior stylist in the salon and I also enjoy doing onsite hair and makeup for weddings and special occasions. I love being a part of such a special day! When I am not working, I am spending time with my two little boys. We love spending time outside on the boat or in the mountains snowboarding!
