I grew up in a small town and never thought I would become a hairstylist or do hair for a living, even though I loved it so much from such a young age. I guess I was scared of the thought of messing up someone's hair or getting something wrong. I even went to hair school right after high school, but I never finished because I didn't have the confidence to do it then.

Fast forward a few years and a few different career attempts later, I realized why none worked out. I wasn't being creative or challenged. I wanted to meet new people, be social and, most importantly, create fantastic hair. So I moved to the city with my now husband, went to hair school, and finally got my license. It's now been nine years, and I haven't looked back.

​

Besides reading, I love my house plants, my husband and coke-a-cola. 😃 Hair has filled all those voids in my life and continues to inspire me. Especially when it came to blondes, I guess you could say I was "blonded by the light" and loved the challenge that my clients were always looking for ways to be blonder but really wanted that soft grow-out. Finding that solution really excites me as I feel it's not a tool all stylists have. 

​

My goal is always to get better; I will never settle. I love blow-drying my client's hair and hearing them say, "This is actually the best - I'm obsessed."

I'm forever grateful to everyone who places their trust in me, and I can't wait to share an experience with you at IHC.
