Would you rather be at the beach or in the mountains?
Tough one, I come from an area where there are actual mountains, not like Maryland where you call hills mountains! Something about that always has a place in your DNA. Mountains are so calming and serene. On the other hand, I do love the sun on my skin and the sound of waves in the back ground. It’s a toss up and probably changes daily. Ask me tomorrow ha

I am way stronger than I thought, I am determined and I can do this.

What’s you all time favorite part about doing hair?
The impact you can make on someone in the time you share with them. People having a positive, emotional response to their transformation is a pretty awesome feeling. It’s not always about hair either. I had a 65 year old client who was sad she didn’t know how to throw a ball to play catch with her grandson, so after her service, I walked outside with her and showed her how to throw using a pine cone. She got to finally play catch with her grand baby. It still makes me smile thinking about that.

What’s your all time favorite part of doing hair?
I got into the hair industry to spend my time being creative and hearing people’s life stories. Listening to what people have been through, celebrating the highs and grieving the lows. Understanding humanity a little more is my favorite part of my job. Outside of that, I love explaining the color process to clients so they can understand the importance of taking multiple appointments to achieve a goal, aftercare at home, and what it takes to maintain their dream hair. I also enjoy taking time to familiarize clients with terminology so they can be clear communicators when they are describing their hair goals.
