Born and raised in Los Angeles, I’ve spent over a decade in the hair industry, and my passion for creating hair art has only grown stronger with time. Even before beauty school, I was experimenting with fashion colors, which taught me the importance of maintaining the integrity of the hair, something I still prioritize with every client.
During beauty school, I fell in love with hair painting and cutting. I honed my freeform balayage techniques and developed a sharp eye for detail and precision. My time apprenticing at Saulino Smith Salon only perfected this skill and helped me master the art of creating natural, lived-in color.
Even after 10 years in this industry, my goal is still the same… to keep learning, growing, and making your hair dreams a reality.
With all of this experience, I’ve found my niche in effortless, low-maintenance styles that still feel fresh and elevated. But at the heart of it all, my true passion is helping people feel great about their hair, whatever that looks like for them. Whether you're looking to refine your current look or step outside your comfort zone, I’m here to support and guide you.
