Though I have been a colorist in Portland since 2010, my journey to becoming a stylist might have started in my step mother’s salon when I was but a wee lass. For decades, I have understood hair as a modality for self expression, for creativity, and bringing light and joy into our lives. Whether that joy be the functionality and ease of a haircut tailored to your needs, or the spice and vibrancy color enhancements can bring, exultation all the same.

In these last 13 years, I have sought training and collaborations with multiple global haircare and color companies. I have educated for brands I trust and believe in, traveled and presented my work on stages with like minded creative baddies, and taught to my peers and students. Education is another aspect of joy for me, but it still does not reach the satisfaction I get from connection with my guests and nailing your hair goals!

While making hair dreams come true is always the goal, my first and foremost concern will always be the health and integrity of your hair. As I mentioned earlier, ease and functionality of our hair is too import to sacrifice porosity to attain a desired tone. These expectations will always be discussed in my in-depth consultations prior to any service.

I’m an open book, so reach out with any questions you may have!. Blessed Be!
