Growing up I always had a love hate relationship with my hair until one day I decided to stop fighting it and fully embrace my curly tresses. During the course of earning my BA in Gender Studies at UCLA, I emphasized my academic work on the the psychological effects the beauty industry combined with mass media have on women with curly hair like me. I developed a passion for helping men and women to love their curls. I decided to make it my personal goal to help diversify the beauty standard. My combined education through the Sassoon Academy with my years at Ouidad as a Curly Specialist provided me with the unique skill set joining strong technical and visual backgrounds to custom tailor both cut and color services to best suit the aesthetic and maintenance routine for each and every client. Beyond working behind the chair I’ve also had the pleasure of working on photo shoots as well as red carpet events. I aim to provide quality services in a welcoming environment for all of my curly clients!
