I fell in love with hair when I was 15 years old. On a whim, my mom handed me a box of hair dye and asked me to make her platinum blonde. Without knowing the first thing about coloring hair, I took a leap of faith and attempted to execute her vision. This experience was when I first realized that I wanted to pursue a career in the beauty industry.
​
After graduating high school, I took the first step toward my aspirations by enrolling in beauty school. I graduated and obtained my cosmetology license in 2016. Eager to keep learning, I immediately completed a barber crossover course. Early in my career, my priority was becoming well-rounded before specializing in one area. After finishing my formal education, I landed my first job as an assistant. During my two years as an assistant, I gained valuable experience that allowed me to refine my technique. I’ve styled clients ranging from brides to big influencers. Working in diverse environments like weddings and sets gave me versatility that isn’t common in the industry. My third year marked a turning point in my career. I evolved from an assistant to a full-fledged hairstylist, and exploring various subfields of beauty helped me narrow down my professional interests.

With over nine years of experience, I now specialize in creating low-maintenance, high-end blondes and providing smooth treatments. Originally from Los Angeles, I moved to Long Beach three years ago and have loved building my career and life here. I treat every client with respect and care, creating a safe, judgment-free space where everyone feels welcome. I take pride in staying current by attending educational classes every year, ensuring I’m always up to date with the latest techniques and trends in the industry.
​
Outside of work, I’m all about enjoying life’s little adventures. Whether I’m pushing limits at the gym, experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, hunting down the coziest coffee spots in town, or exploring new restaurants while traveling, I’m always on the move. When winter rolls around, you’ll find me carving through fresh powder on my snowboard. At the end of the day, there’s nothing better than relaxing with my goofy, lovable bulldog by my side.
