To be honest, I never thought I’d do hair. I “fell into it”, some might say.

I’ve always been interested in beauty; my mom was a stylist back in the day and I used to love watching her do friend & family hair in our kitchen. I’d box-dyed my hair, my friends’ hair, and my sister’s hair dozens of times, I’d braided and curled until my fingers hurt. But as a profession? No thank you.

Equally considered was the service industry. I loved learning about my guests, memorizing names and orders, and making magic happen whenever I could; I loved making people feel special. I was good at it, but it didn’t feel like it was my “forever”.

Both of these things, beauty and service, had been sources of joy for me. I LOVED creating, and I LOVED making people feel good.
