THIS is why I do what I do.
As a hair replacement stylist, I take this type of work very seriously as most of my clients are dealing with some form of hairloss or thinning. Whether it’s hormones shifts, stress related, diet, medications or in this case, autoimmune. My job goes far beyond giving long mermaid hair to everyone.
I access each and every client, each and every time. Whether you are in my chair for the first time or have been with me for years. I will give my honest opinion, feedback, and help you achieve your goals to the best of my ability.
(And if I can’t be of service to you, I will find someone who can be)
Your hair and scalp health will always be my top priority.

I’d be doing you a disservice and I wouldn’t be doing my job if I kept this one to myself.

I noticed a difference just after one wash. What I realized was that it was the residue from my town water that was making my skin look dry, and just this simple change completely changed my skin. Now, as for my hair, flash forward one year later, my hair is starting to grow back. My scalp is finally able to breathe without all the build up from all of the nasty stuff that’s in our water and pipes.

THANK YOU eskiin filtered showerhead for helping me, AND my clients have better skin and hair days. 🫶🏼

It’s never an overnight success. It takes time, commitment, practice, persistence in perfecting your craft and the willingness to continue to always be a student and grow. 🌱

My job is to deliver the most natural results as possible.

Now…. Could I have just applied a blonde shade that matched her ends? Sure!

That would’ve given me the look of an all over blonde, possibly ombré vibes.

But by adding in a little depth in the back it creates the natural effect most people have in the nape area. ✨👌🏽

Consultations are always complementary.
