✧Hey there

Platform shoe enthusiast living on iced coffee and sarcasm.

I’m a lover of all things spooky and glam — the kind of girl who can binge thrillers one night and cozy comfort shows the next. The same goes for music: I’ve always got something playing, and my playlists cover every mood, so no matter your vibe, you’ll feel right at home.

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll catch me soaking up the sun with my two boys, hunting down my next favorite Amazon find, or grabbing lunch with one of the girls — chances are, it’s one of you. The friendships built behind the chair don’t stop at the salon door.

What to expect when you’re in my chair:

Your appointment is your escape. Whether you’re here to relax in silence, catch up on life, or sneak in a little work, I curate the space around what you need most. Guests know me for a gentle touch, an eye for detail, and my signature scalp massage — the kind that lingers in your memory long after the appointment, right alongside your refreshed, polished hair.

My specialties:

  • Lived-in blondes with soft, low-maintenance grow-out

  • Seamless hand-tied extensions for instant length & volume

  • Healthy hair blowouts that last for days

  • Transformative corrective color for a total reset

Bottom line:

My goal is hair that feels authentically you — refined, effortless and designed to compliment your lifestyle so it not only looks incredible today, but continues to move and grow with you in the weeks ahead.
