Hometown: Chicago, Illinois

When I started doing hair: 2000

When I started at The Parlour: 2018

What inspires/motivates me in the industry:

People. I like people watching anywhere from the art gallery to the grocery store. It helps me create a better style for my client’s lives in every way. Nature has always inspired me, giving me great ideas for hair styling, coloring, and cuts.

What I am happiest doing:

I love to be in the garden digging around, or going on hikes to find waterfalls. I also enjoy watching scary movies that make me scream, but my favorite nights are spent with friends over dinner and games.

Additional industry involvement:

• New York Fashion Week Hair Stylist (8 seasons)
• Long Hairdressing Educator for salon in Chicago
• Regional Educator for various product lines
• Wedding Hair specialist

What I love most about The Parlour:

The Parlour team truly enjoys education and the craft of hair while respecting the individual evolution.
