“Hairdressing has been an interest of mine since I was a teen. Pursuing this career has allowed me to further tap into my creative side and translate my love for helping my friends with their hair into helping my clients with theirs. I love helping people and being able to create the look they want. I love the joy it brings them when we achieve their desired look."
