Stylist Spotlight
Q: What’s your favorite part of being a hairdresser?
My favorite part is making my clients feel beautiful. Showing them the final result and seeing that instant boost of confidence is unmatched.
Q: What’s the most important thing you’re teaching your daughter about beauty?
Healthy hair is 80% what you do at home and 20% what you do at the salon so it’s important to build a healthy routine. I started using vegan shampoos on her when she was a baby rather than baby shampoos and conditioners. We’ve been using Color Edge since 2017, and let me tell you, you can see the difference. i only have to shampoo her hair once a week. It doesn’t get oily, and it grows really fast.
Q: What is your ideal day off?
Sunday is my only day off, but I like to sleep in until about 8 am. Then I go to a yoga class or for a run before having brunch with my kids. I love spending time with them. It doesn’t matter if we go out or stay home as long as we are all together.
