My love for hair began at a young age. In my teens, I would take every opportunity given to me to cut and style my friend’s and family’s hair. As undeniable as my passion for hair was, I was encouraged to go to college where I received my bachelors in Psychology. After graduating, I decided to go to beauty college to help support myself through the masters program to eventually be able to do therapy(become a therapist). However, as my skills grew at beauty school, so too did the realization of how deeply fulfilled a profession in beauty (hair) made me feel. Today, my consistent(constant) desire to perfect my craft motivates me to continue my education in the hair business. The results, as well as reignited confidence I bring my clients, fuels my passion for the art of hair. I specialize in color, though I do it all when it comes to hair. I especially love dimensional color, covering gray, reds, and all shades of blonde. I ensure a very natural, long-lasting look no matter your color. I am trained and certified in Schwarzkopf color and have the pleasure of being a hairstylist at Gold and Braid in Mission Viejo, CA.
