my journey as a stylist has been...

Abnormally long and hard, but wonderful in a messy kind of way.

I was born and raised in a small town in the middle of the depressing Mojave Desert (enter tumbleweeds rolling across the torrid landscape). I was plotting my escape from the minute I danced out of my mothers womb, just a mere 11 months after my older sister. (My mom likes to say I wasn't an unplanned pregnancy but a “happy surprise” but I see you mom, I see what you did there.) My 3 sisters and I grew up with an assortment of misadventure and misfortune, then sprinkle in an unsettling amount of unpredictability and *BAM* you have the amusing and steadfast woman you see today. 

Like the great Andy Dufresne I made a break for it and left my personal version of Shawshank in the dust and landed squarely in the only option my parents allotted for me… the United States Air Force. I enjoyed my time in the military, the Air Force is still benefiting me to this day, and for that I am thankful. I traveled the world on the military's dime, and I met my soul mate so that will always be a win in my book!

In keeping in tradition with the way I entered this world, unpredictability has alway suited me, After the military I pursued my Bachelors in Interior Design and when COVID hit I became very unsatisfied  with the path I had choose. It was no longer interesting and when I really took a step back I noticed there was two key elements missing, I AM A PEOPLE PLEASER TO MY CORE, and I love to make people feel good (in a non creepy type of way). Whether you consider that good or bad, it is who I am and there's no changing it. Hair was always something I was passionate about from a young age, and with those two things in mind I thought I could actually go to work everyday and enjoy what I do!

Fast forward to present day. and here I am defying the odds living a comfortable life with my devilishly handsome husband, 3 children, and new grandson. Did I think at such a late stage in life that I would decide to throw caution to the wind and follow my outlandish dreams? Hell no, but here I am killing it! The beauty industry welcomed me with open arms and out of all the crazy decisions I’ve made in my life, this is one I know I’ll never regret! So if you thought that bio was long, do yourself a favor and come see me and enjoy one of the best shampoo's of your life!
