I am a Frederick native. Nature is top priority in my perspective of the world. I try to honor our planet in all that I do. Using non toxic products with ethically sourced ingredients makes me feel more confident in keeping guests and myself healthy. I started my hair career in the first organic salon in the Frederick area. I've spent my whole career there thus far. I like to think of myself as a very well-rounded stylist. I have a strong art background and color is a passion. I started out in the beauty industry as a regional makeup artist in the tri-state area for about six years before going to cosmetology school. I have been licensed since 2008. I enjoy doing fashion color just as much as lived in multi-dimensional color. I feel extremely confident in all levels of cutting. I believe it's crucial to have good communication with my clients and consultation are always a must. Continued education is a big thing for me, and I enjoy teaching others as much as learning new techniques. My training ranges from Vidal Sassoon, Toni and Guy, Simply Organic Beauty to name a few. I've been a part of multiple fashion shows including New York Fashion Week. I'm a certified curly hair specialist, taught by one of the leading educators in the field. I use the curl by curl technique. The color I use is absent of all toxic chemicals and covers gray hair completely. I enjoy doing a root touch up just as much as a complex project. In my spare time, I love to be outdoors with my fur child. Usually in the woods or on my bicycle. I enjoy making art in many forms and listening to good music.
