My passion is driven and influenced by the different fashions of the world. Combining runway looks with the everyday looks of a working woman, moms, and business men as well as little young ladies and gents. It makes it all worth while. Originally dreamed of Fashion design. Who knew that would mean Hair Fashion Design instead! Found passion for beauty as early as 12, sneaking through my mothers make up bag and getting caught religiously! And cutting her clothes to fit me and stick them back in her closet as if she wouldn’t notice...! Yes I am laughing at that again... Very passionate about new innovative tools as well as techniques and styles, therefore love attending industry shows, hair and make up classes, constantly looking for the worthwhile updates. Always brings new height of inspirations to my career with new goals to strive for. Working behind the chair has taught me a tremendous amount of respect for people...the everyday different walks of life around me, the different points of view, different backgrounds and diversity of us as humans. It teaches me about myself and my abilities to take and recieve/read between the lines. In me you will find a highly trained professional who stays current, is very approachable, open and fun. And most of all, Integrity comes first: If there is a service that I am not confident in providing, I will not hesitate sharing the information of my co-piers which I deem perfect for the situation.
