After giving my first makeover at a friend's house in 6th grade, I knew I was destined to be a stylist. My mom fueled my passion for hair by giving me mannequin heads and wigs, always reminding me that practice was essential if I ever wanted to style hers. From that first mannequin, I was hooked!

For years, I thrived in the medical field as a respiratory therapist (therapist by day, hair artist by night). While I loved helping people feel better, something was missing. So, after relocating to Chicago from California in 2012, I decided it was time to pursue my dream job full-time. I’m a dedicated hair nerd, taking classes or tutorials at least once a month, and I'm excited to share what I learn with my clients. If there's a new coloring technique out there, you can bet I'm on it! When I'm not at the salon, you’ll find me soaking up the sun (California girl for life), tending to my collection, or diving into the latest Netflix documentaries. I love listening to audiobooks and podcasts during my commutes, so if you have recommendations, I’m all ears for our next chat!

I specialize in blended highlighting and coloring, and I have a keen eye for my clients' visions from their inspiration photos. My approach is relaxed and pressure-free, focusing on educating clients on achieving their dream color and style.

I keep it real with clients, so there are some areas I don’t specialize in, such as pixie cuts, Deva curl haircuts, and solid platinum or vivid colors (like pinks and blues). My true passion is women’s hair, which is why I no longer take children or barber cut clients. It brings me immense joy to create looks that my clients love and show them how it is to maintain at home.
