Classic Silhouettes with modern techniques is my beauty passion, finding it has come through my work and participation in photo shoots and fashion shows with designers like Austin Scarlett, Rachael Roy, Brian Reyes and Doucette Duval. Beginning my career in the Beauty industry in 2002 it was not until 2007 that I decided to get behind the chair. Your hair and beauty concerns are mine when you are in my chair. So whether you are just seeking a style to start your day or a complete change ... I'll be very excited to work with you!

I love a themed party! I had a client going to a Great Gatsby themed party... She brought me a couple pieces that inspired this faux bob. A modern take on a vintage timeless look.

Everyone now a days is naming their blondes. I call this one vanilla pudding blonde. I love beige and light beige can be hard to formulate. When this one came out amazing I had to name it and share it.

Making a big change to your style is always a risk... But when it pays off it is sooo sweet!

I love when a client is ready to change up their style. They have had one thing for years and want a new silhouette, a new routine, something to look forward to in the morning. This client had been wearing this bob for over 5 years and came in and gave me that smirk and said I'm done and I want it off. Instantly I got excited and said I agree let's go for it. My one restriction... "Don't make me look like a boy." And I said challenge excepted. This was our end result.

Love pushing the boundaries of symmetry. This asymmetrical the client wanted more of a mohawk in the back. It's so much fun to push envelopes and creativity... and it's even better when the client works the art you give them!

I love a client that let’s go of her high school hair and steps into a more collegiate style! These bohemian layers are the perfect easy style for such a mile stone.

I love simple sculpted shapes and minimal design. Giving a little throw back to the 1940's with a modern asymmetrical silhouette. I was inspired by I post I saw from behindthechair.com as well as Kate Winslet's 2009 Oscar's.

Pinterest Practice Sunday. Pinterest isn't going anywhere... The only place it seems to be going is out of clients printers and into the salons. Which is awesome. But it can be scary for us stylists. So I've decided to grab this fear by the horns. I found this on Pinterest and was inspired to grab a mannequin head and giving it a go. I loved it so much that I think every Sunday will be #pinterestpractice in my house! The original pic I found that inspired me is here at http://www.stylishboard.com/this-woven-braid-around-ponytail-is-simply-amazing/ Stylists grab a head and a Pinterest link and hashtag your practice #pinterestpractice

I love when clients are going to a themed event that I can use as inspiration for their hair. This client was going to a fund raiser with a "Country Chic" theme. She brought in a photo reference and I used that as well as the theme to come up with this relaxed disheveled ponytail with a braided accent.

big changes can happen with more than with just length change. With this hair cut not only did the clients length drastically change, but I added a ton of movement. Taking this basic bluntish cut, to a fun bob with tons of variety, options, and movement!

Utilizing a horizontal layering technique I learned at the KMS California IQ cutting method class. I Love trying new techniques I’ve learned on clients to keep their experience with me fresh and new. Never Be afraid to try new things on any client!

When a client with very long hair comes in, the request is always the same right? I love my length but i want something different. i LOVE this request! More layers is the easy solution; but its what they've had before, so its really not that big of a difference for them. I like to slightly disconnect the layers at the top of the head and crown, and frame the face a bit utilizing point cutting, to add movement around the face and add volume through the top of the head all the while maintaining length. I love my long haired clients.

Cognac was the inspiration for this color. I love expensive sounding colors, and they inspire me to formulate new and uncharted formulas. I love that there are clients that trust me to try these formulas out on them :D the end result was exactly what i wanted, a copper beige, not too cool and not to zingy. Next i want to try this out as highlights in a brunette!

Oh Old Hollywood, timeless, classic hair. Classic romance is the root of all romance.
