Business
I do hair! All kinds of it. I personally don’t want to specialize in one thing. I know lots of stylists do and that’s totally cool but for me, I like to stay well rounded. I want clients to look at my Instagram and see themselves in a picture or two. I’m most proud that I’m open to change. I’ve been doing hair for 19 years and I know it’s so easy to refuse to change with the times, but I find joy in learning new techniques and staying current. Social media is HUGE for stylists these days and I’m not as amazing as some other people, but I try to stay active and engaged.
Personal
I began my career right out of high school. I knew college wasn’t for me and it was actually my dad who suggested beauty school. He’d noticed I was always the last one to get ready because I was too busy doing everyone else’s hair. At first, I thought it was an awful idea. Beauty school?!? But he convinced me to try and I loved it. Friendly, chatty, artistic and not stuck behind a desk! These were my people! I did hair in my hometown of Sacramento for 6 years before I decided to move to NYC. I lived there for a decade and got to do so many things out of my reach in Sacramento. Movies, fashion week etc! But after that long, I was ready for California again and decided to give San Diego a try. Two years later, I’m busier than ever and loving the sunshine and slower pace!
