It still blows my mind that this is what I get to call my job.
Standing in rooms like this, having real conversations, watching artists shift their mindset in real time… that is something I will never take for granted.

There is talent everywhere in this industry, but knowledge, growth, and the willingness to evolve? That is what sets people apart. The stylists who choose to lean into education, to stay curious, to keep refining their craft… those are the stylists I want to surround myself with.

I feel incredibly lucky to be a small part of that process to share what I have learned, to help spark something, and to watch it turn into confidence behind the chair.

This industry has given me so much in so many different ways and moments like this are a reminder of why I love what I do 🫶

✨ Education = momentum. And 2026 is the year to build it. ✨

If you’re starting to look ahead and plan for the year, now is the perfect time to bring education into your salon- the strongest teams invest in learning, refining skills, and building a game plan for the months ahead.

We have a variety of Redken education opportunities for 2026—swipe through to see the classes I currently offer. Each class can be fully customized based on what your stylists want to learn most, whether that’s technique, confidence behind the chair, consultation skills, or growing behind the chair.

If you’re interested in bringing education to your salon:
• Tap the link in my bio
• DM me directly
• Or connect with your SalonCentric sales consultant and they can help coordinate

Every class is designed to support your team, your goals, and the areas you want to grow in!

I’m looking forward to learning with you!

Flashback to my bridal season era — when filters were HEAVY, and braids were having a MOMENT ✨
’Tis the season for holiday parties, weddings, and NYE hair that feels a little extra.
I’m thinking about sharing mini tutorials + product breakdowns to actually recreate these looks and make them last — frizz, sweat, dance floor and all.
Would you want that?

✨The Redken holiday kits aren’t the only thing I’m celebrating this time of year!✨

I had the most beautiful birthday surrounded by my family, and I’m so grateful for all the love and messages from this amazing community I’ve grown with. ❤️
Feeling inspired, recharged, and excited to see what this next year brings! 🎉💫

One year ago today, I stepped into this role as a Redken Regional Educator not fully knowing what to expect—but knowing I wanted to make an impact. In this photo I am standing at the Redken Exchange, not knowing all the incredible moments that will fill the year ahead.

From classrooms full of passionate stylists eager to learn, to quiet moments behind the scenes where real connection and growth happen—every experience has reminded me why I love this industry so much. The people I’ve met, the classes I’ve taught, the inspiration I’ve felt… it’s been a year of transformation in every way.

This job has challenged me, fulfilled me, and constantly reminded me of the power of education and community. I’m so grateful to be part of a brand that believes in the artist behind the chair and gives us the space to grow, share, and inspire each other.

Here’s to one year down, and so much more to come. 🫶

There was a time when I was behind the chair full-time, and I was lucky enough to have the most amazing clients—people who trusted me, referred their loved ones, and supported me even as my career grew into education 🫶
One of those clients recently got married, and when she was deciding who she wanted to do her hair, she reached out to me. To be asked to step back behind the chair for her special day was the greatest honor, and reminded me why I fell in love with this industry in the first place.
Because here’s the truth: we don’t just do hair. We build relationships, share milestones, and hold space for our clients on their best days, their hard days, and every day in between.
To my clients—past and present—thank you. To stylists—never forget the impact you have. What you do matters, far beyond the hair.
