Barrie,ON

Summary

I have been licensed and working behind the chair for 8 years and counting, and I fall more in love with my industry everyday. I have been absolutely honored to have been in my current salon home for 5 years, and although its bittersweet to say goodbye- I look forward to building a new community of friends, clients, and fellow stylists here in Barrie. I've always prioritized continuing education throughout my career, and feel proud to have been a part of a salon team with artsitic direcors and educators from Pravana, Schwartzkoptf, and Redken- as well as getting to teach some specialized classes of my own. I feel that I got to connect with my community directly through my work, and felt so gratified behind the chair serving my clients, building close friendships with them and their families in the years I've worked. I look forward to connecting with my new community in the same manner this coming April.
