IM BACK Ritual Hair | Orlando’s Best Salon

As some of you may know, I have been on a long journey to find my second calling. I passed my real estate exam, finished my life coaching program with university of Central Florida, did legal work, and everything in between. I supported my husband and his career path, had three babies, bought and sold a house, moved up to Philadelphia to essentially struggle every day whether or not I was making the right choice for my next career move. I even had an interview at what seemed like would be a dream job working in a color lab making master batch inks, didn’t get it. I considered going back to school, I applied at every single thing that I thought was right for me. But no door opens until I knock on a Salon door and the door always seems to open. I’ve really contemplated back-and-forth what is truly meant for me when I think about what type of industry could you work in making your own hours, working with people that you love, and making the most amount in the shortest amount of time without having to work a 9 to 5 that barely covers childcare for one child let alone three. I have really prayed about this. I went and visited my old friends at Stella Luca Salon, I saw everyone happy, successful, and asking me if I’m going to come back to doing hair. I know that the right product line is out there for me to be able to still thrive and come back with a whole new perspective. A perspective of gratitude, that even though I turned my back and left; every time I come back, and the door is open. Another perspective I want to share is that we have a saying in recovery.. “this is working for me, not against me.” All the no’s I got, the rejection, the lackluster I felt. That doesn’t happen when I go work in the salon industry. I get empowerment, trust, loyalty, and welcoming with open arms. So with that being said ORLANDO I AM OFFICIALLY BACK WITH OPEN ARMS. Find me at Ritual Hair | Orlando’s Best Salon

ORLANDO 🔈

✨ The Hair Goddess is back! ✨

After a long hiatus, my family and I have made the intentional decision to return to Orlando to raise our children, reconnect with family and friends, and reunite with my amazing clients. I’m also excited to be back supporting my band, . 🎶

I want to be transparent with everyone about what this transition looks like.

After having my twins, I developed a strange reaction when working with certain salon products. Exposure to bleach/lightener, smoothing treatments, masks, and fragrances in some professional products can cause my ear to swell and significant pain. I’ve also recently been experiencing swelling in my hands, so I’m currently working with specialists to figure out the exact cause.

Because of this, I need to be very selective about the services I offer and the time I spend behind the chair.

• I will be working 1–2 days per week
• I cannot currently use lightener from Redken
• I’ll be limiting the number of clients per day

In addition to doing hair part-time, I’m also working in the legal field, as well as life coaching, recovery coaching, and talent coaching, while still keeping my toes in real estate.

Orlando has always had my heart, and I’m grateful to reconnect with this community.

I can’t wait to see you again. ✨

I AM DEVASTATED!! I met Graham when I returned to Florida and was a hair model at Stella Luca where I currently wasn’t working at the time, when I returned from Denver. He worked at a salon there I had worked at for a moment. I literally was bringing an amends letter that day to the owners because of my drinking. As I was handing the letter to the owner. Graham asked me how long do you have and I said about four months he said congratulations. I have I think he said seven years. When he was doing my hair, I asked him. Do you think you would be where you are if you weren’t sober? He quickly said no! This man influenced my sobriety more than he would ever know because I’ve met a stylist who made it and thrived in recovery. I don’t wanna believe that this is true that he is no longer with us. I don’t know anything that happened I’m not insinuating It had anything to do with use. I’m just telling you all that this man was an influence on my sobriety! GOD REST YOUR SOUL BABY
