My sense of style is Eclectic, versatile, constantly evolving..a mix of whimsy, chic and classic.
I'm inspired by different things everyday, I love to observe and learn, I'm always studying styles in books and magazines. I love to look at things in nature and think of how I can bring it to haircolor...like wood grains, I can look at the blends of colors and get ideas
I'm passionate about what I do because as hairdressers, we touch lives in a very special way. We bring out the true inner beauty of guests, giving them the confidence to shine. I have found the ultimate industry for combining creativity and business. I love it!
My favorite quote is: Everything happens for a reason!
What I can be found doing on my day off is spending time with my family, playing like a kid, working on marketing ideas for the salon, doing creative projects, definitely not cleaning!
What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? I would have loved to have been a teacher or a therapist..which if I think about it, I actually am able to do in my career...so hmm, maybe a marine biologist.
