My interest in the beauty field started at a very young age. I remember owning my own miniature beauty salon when I was just 3 years old. By the time I was 17, I knew that this love that I had for doing hair wasn't going anywhere, as it was still with me.

While finishing up my last year in high school, and maintaining a 3.8 GPA, figuring out what I was going to do next was heavily on my mind. The thought of going to college didn’t burn inside of me nearly as much as my passion for hair did. However, everything & everyone around me was telling me college was the next step. It was my mom that noticed how ambivalent I had become about my future.

I was thinking that a career in beauty wouldn’t be lucrative. That was a conditioned belief that I had developed through the years from our society. It wasn’t until my mom brought up hair school that I even felt that it was a worthy choice. “Going to a school that nurtures a passion of mine instead of going to a traditional school that prepares me for the work force that I don’t particularly care for? ABSOLUTELY!” That was an easy choice for me to make.

I went on to schedule a tour of the hair school of my choosing. Now three years later, not only am I done with hair school, but I’ve also transitioned from being a Salon Assistant, to a Salon Professional, to an Assistant Salon Leader, to a General Salon Leader & also a Licensed Cosmetology Instructor. And all before the age of 21! Beauty has been my love & passion my entire life. Thank you for joining me on my journey. Welcome to Love, Passion, Hair!
