Meet your stylist

I am a very loving, loyal, hardworking and honest woman who wears her heart on her sleeve. I don't give up on anything easily and when my heart is set on something I strive to make it happen no matter what it may take. Becoming a hairdresser was more than I ever imagined it to be, I am living my soul purpose and there is no greater gift. I have been through a lot in life already from navigating being a widowed mom to finding a beautiful love and a hunger for life again. The journey isn't always rainbows and butterflies, it can hurt and suck at times but what truly matters is how authentically you carry yourself through those times. There is always a new beginning behind devastation and ruin.

I have a wonderful man in my life named Justin. He is my other half in every sense of the word. Justin has become the best father to my children and given them so much stability and love. I am so grateful for him.

I have two young children Tessa and Tristan. We are a blended family and have so much love for one another. When I'm not working I'm full on momming! They are my whole world. Family is number one for us and we strive to keep that value at the forefront of every decision we make and everything we do. We fiercely protect each other, stand by one another and love each other deeply. ...more
