Tell us about your background and experience.
I’ve been in the beauty industry for over 5 years, with a strong passion for blonding and creating beautiful, dimensional color. I chose a career that allows me to combine creativity and artistry while creating a personalized experience for every client. No two clients are the same, and individuality is especially important when creating custom color.
I especially love hand painting because it allows me to approach the hair as a canvas. It gives me the ability to thoughtfully visualize the placement of the color and how the highlights, balayage, dimensional color, and face-framing highlights will come together to create the finished look.
What styles or aesthetics are you influenced by?
I’m inspired by the blonding of Tate McRae and Sabrina Carpenter, as well as Madonna’s iconic blonde looks. I’m drawn to expressive fashion and beauty, and I also have a strong interest in skincare, particularly Korean and luxury skincare.
How do you tailor each client's experience to their personal hair goals?
I use each client’s inspiration photos as a starting point and then make personalized recommendations based on what will complement them best. I consider details such as their eyes and skin tone when determining what adjustments may enhance their overall look.
Lifestyle is also an important part of the consultation. I want to create a custom color that is realistic and manageable for the client’s day-to-day life while allowing their hair to remain beautiful, long-lasting, and healthy-looking.
Favorite current beauty trend.
I love staying current with beauty and skincare trends. Two of my favorite brands are Peach & Lily and M-61. For hair, Oribe is always my go-to—I love everything Oribe.
Recently, I’ve especially been loving the teddy bear bronde trend, which many of my guests have been requesting. I love that it creates a soft, lived-in color with a beautiful grow-out.
