I've always had an eye for color and design, and while I studied architecture, my true canvas became people. With over 20 years in the beauty industry, I’ve trained with top mentors in Seattle, San Francisco, and Napa Valley, honing my craft and sharpening my shears.
In 2018, I opened my studio in Malibu, but when the fires swept through in January, I had to make a change. Fate (and a little bit of luck) led me to Saulino Smith Salon in Santa Monica—a stunning space by the water that feels like the perfect new home. Now, I get to create effortlessly chic looks in an environment as vibrant as my clients—where ocean breezes meet fresh styles, and every appointment feels like a breath of fresh hair.
For me, hair isn’t just about "doing"—it’s about feeling. I take the time to understand your lifestyle, face shape, and personal style to craft a cut and color that feels uniquely you. My goal? To make sure your hair is always a cut above—timeless, effortless, and undeniably stunning.
Let’s turn your hair goals into hair reality. Book your appointment today!
