I didn’t become the stylist I am today overnight. 🤍

It’s been a decade of learning, growing, failing, trying again, taking classes, stepping outside my comfort zone, and constantly asking how I can give the person in my chair more. Because this has become so much more than hair to me!

My guests are family. My coworkers are my soul sisters, people I get to grow with, learn from, laugh way too loud with, and build something meaningful alongside.

My chair is where people come to feel seen, cared for, confident, beautiful and like they’re the only person that matters in the room.

From blonding and custom color to extensions, hair loss solutions, and everything I’ve added to my toolbox over the years, I never want to stop learning or evolving. And I never want anyone to leave my chair feeling like I could’ve given more.

Being an Elite Stylist at The Collective Salon means everything to me because it reflects the years behind it the education, the relationships, the challenges, the growth, and every guest who trusted me with their journey.

I’m still growing. Still learning. Still laughing way too loud. 😂 And still completely obsessed with what I get to do every day.

So if you want to feel like family, laugh with me, probably hear me yell at least once and be fully taken care of!!!

Come sit in my chair. 🤍 I’ve got you.

Prom season is officially in full swing ✨

The dress was stunning, but the hair completed the look. Soft waves, delicate twists, and a style made for dancing the night away ✨

Some client reviews just hit different… 🥹✨

“I’d give her a 10 if I could. I don’t think I can trust anyone else with my hair ever again. G.O.A.T.”

Okay… that one might be my personal favorite. 🐐

But truly, nothing means more to me than the trust my clients give me every time they sit in my chair. Your hair, your confidence, your glow it’s never something I take lightly.

Every transformation, every haircut, every color, every extension install is done with intention and love. 🤍

To all of my beautiful clients who support me, hype me up, and trust me with their hair journey, thank you. You’re the reason I get to do what I love every single day.

Soft ribbons of light woven through depth for seamless movement and refined shine.
