WHAT IS YOUR SPECIALTY?
I specialize in several areas; all facets of color, cutting, extensions, Brazilian Blowouts, up do’s, studio styling and make-up.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE.
I believe I was born with a natural ability to style hair. I graduated from Marinello School of Beauty, and then continued my education at Make Up Designory in Burbank. Since then I have taken several classes and will always continue to educate myself in the latest trends.
DO YOU HAVE ANY OUTSIDE PROJECTS?
I am the mother of two daughters who keep me on my toes, eight-year-old Raven, and five-year-old Khloe. They are a blessing and keep me motivated to always be my very best.
WHY DID YOU GET INTO HAIR?
After spending five years in a corporate office, I was tired of sitting at a desk while knowing I was supposed to be doing something creative. Since I was a young girl I styled hair on anyone who would let me. I loved it, so it wasn’t hard for me to find my calling when I went looking.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS TO USE?
I love AVEDA. I knew that someday when I owned my own business I wanted to carry a line that I believed in. AVEDA’S mission statement says it all; “Our mission at Aveda is to care for the world we live in, from the products we make to the ways in which we give back to society. At Aveda, we strive to set an example for environmental leadership and responsibility, not just in the word of beauty, but around the world. “ I wanted to carry a line that was not full of chemicals and toxins for our bodies. It is a plus that their products are also amazing. One of my absolute favorites is their ‘Be Curly’ line. I am a curly haired gal, so their ‘Be Curly’ line is what keeps my curly hair from frizzing and having a mind of its own (more so than it already does).
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU'RE NOT DOING HAIR?
I spend my time doing mom duties. I love spending time with my family and friends who mean the world to me.
WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE PRODUCTS TO USE?
I love Aveda’s Air Control Hairspray because it’s light but still holds. I also especially like the Smooth Infusion Gloss Straightener. It is safe for thermal styling and adds shine to hair.
DO YOU HAVE ANY SPECIAL AWARDS OR RECOGNITIONS?
At the Marinello Annual Hair Show, I won first place in the Modern Art category. I am a certified Studio Hair Stylist and can do any period styling.
WHY FRENCHY’S?Fate brought me to Frenchy’s. I used to get my hair done here. When an opportunity to work here presented itself, I jumped on it.
TELL US SOMETHING ABOUT YOURSELF THAT NO ONE KNOWS.
If I didn’t have my two beautiful daughters I would probably still be a filthy punk-rocking, starving artist.
TELL US SOMETHING YOU WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU.I am an artist, but most importantly, I am a mother who provides for her children with this gift.
