What inspires/motivates me in the industry:

What inspires/motivates me, is my clients. If I can make every person who sits in my chair smile and have them leave feeling beautiful, my job has been fulfilled. I can wake up the next day happy to do it all over again.

What I’m most happiest doing is being with my family. Just sitting and hearing them talk and laugh makes me the happiest.

What I love most about The Parlour:

What I love most about The Parlour is the education. We have amazing hairstylist from all over the world come to The Parlour and share their stories and talent with us. The Parlour is passionate about keeping us updated on new trends and helping us grow better as stylists.

Carisa has the most beautiful smile and sweetness. She also raises the bar when it comes to looking great.
