My Story
Growing up, I dreamed of becoming a singer or actress on Broadway. I guess that could be expected when I grew up watching an excessive amount of Glee. Every day after school, I would rush home just to have some free time to sing along to some karaoke videos. By the time I got to high school, I was waking up ridiculously early to try out new ideas for my hair and makeup. I wasn’t looking to impress anyone at school, but simply found it therapeutic and enjoyed creating my own techniques. That’s when it started to click that I wanted to pursue a career in the beauty industry. I started a co-op placement at a salon & spa when I was 16, thinking I would get a head start in becoming a make-up artist. After seeing the beautiful work the hairstylists were accomplishing and the positive experience they created for their clients, my goals slowly shifted from makeup to hair.
One of my biggest interests outside of the beauty industry is music. I love how music can place your mind back to different memories, so much so that I currently have 98 playlists on my Spotify account, perfectly curated to moods, themes, and months. Some of which you might hear playing in the salon from time to time. I have a tendency to not only collect vinyl records and concert stubs, but I've also accumulated an absurd amount of yarn for my crochet projects. I'm usually always working on a cute stuffed animal, but I also like to make blankets, bags and scarves.
Since starting my journey as a hairstylist, my friends and family have told me countless times their previous ‘bad hair horror stories’ and other salon experiences, resulting in a profound drive in me to make as many people's salon experiences as positive as possible. I always strive to give you the hair you desire and create a safe place where you feel heard and are excited to come to.
Over the last year at IHC, I’ve dedicated a significant amount of my time to practicing new techniques, as well as setting aside some of my days off to attend various cutting and colouring classes. I strive to constantly learn and grow my skills as this industry is forever changing. I’ve dedicated many hours to my newest endeavour, hair extensions, which I’m thrilled to be offering in the salon! I’m super excited to be offering this service as it truly fills my cup with joy & I have a whole new world of options to provide people with a newfound confidence.
I don’t approach cutting or colouring as a one-size-fits-all. I create personalized looks that work with your lifestyle while keeping your hair goals in mind. I understand the importance of listening and getting to know you as an individual to help build trust and accurately arm you with the knowledge you need to get your hair where you want it to be.
I’m incredibly grateful to have had many opportunities to bond with so many of you, and if I haven’t yet, I hope to see you in my chair soon.
