Hair Stylist
Ever walked out of a salon with hair that wasn't what you asked for? Too brassy, damaged or rushed? It's hard to trust again after that and you may wonder if your "person" is even out there.
Imagine sitting in a chair where you feel safe, heard and with someone who truly cares. I notice every strand, every tone shift and every opportunity to elevate your look...the job's not done until it's right.
I specialize in soft, dimensional blondes, safe color corrections, extensions and smoothing treatments like Keratin Complex and Brazilian Blowout. Every appointment is focused, intentional and entirely about you.
I've built my reputation on consistency, transparency and results that grow out just as beautifully as they did on day one. If you're ready to love your hair again, my chair is open. Let's get you back to loving your hair!
