I’m an animal and nature loving person who embraces every opportunity to get outside and explore.  I’m an intro and extro-vert depending on the time of the month.  I love learning about ways to be more sustainable and holistic.

what makes your hair brain sing? Seeing a client who is ready for a new look, whether it be cut, color, or both makes my hair brain sing.  Understanding their lifestyle and home routine allows us to arrive at the best, most flattering look.
