PROUDEST PROFESSIONAL MOMENT: Becoming a Redken Certified Haircolorist. The testing was very grueling and not easy at all but it helped me take my skills to a whole another level.

SIGNATURE COCKTAIL: The Palm Refresh. Basically a cucumber basil martini.

WEEKEND GOTO’S: I foster animals that need a loving home so I spend many of my weekends at adoption events.

FAVORITE SALON TOOL: My razor. I love to create textured and blended cuts on both female and male guests. I also love the texture iron. It’s my secret weapon for creating volume on fine hair.

PERFECT VACATION: Anywhere on a beach!

FAVORITE SALON PRODUCT: Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo. It allows my guests to preserve their haircolor and stretch out how often they shampoo. Plus, it smells amazing!
