Summary
I have been in the beauty industry for over twenty years and have worked in a variety of settings. I am meticulous with my haircutting and truly value my clientele. I easily adapt to any setting or personality, and my greatest joy comes from seeing a client leave feeling relaxed and refreshed. I prioritize continuing education to stay current with trends, ingredients, techniques, and the manufacturing of the tools and products we use. Above all, I always prioritize my clients’ well-being.
