Building confidence in others is what I strive to do each day in the salon and it all starts with understanding each client’s individual needs. Creating a look that matches your lifestyle and also showing you how to maintain your hair at home. I specialize in all coloring techniques, woman’s cuts, men’s cuts and love doing big transformations. Continuing my education and always being up to date on the latest trends assures you will be walking out of the salon with a new outlook on the way you see yourself.
