“I HAVEN’T ALWAYS LIVED THE LIFE OF MY DREAMS: THE BUSINESS, THE CLIENT, THE THOUSANDS OF LIVES TOUCHED”

In fact, it wasn’t so long ago that I was cutting hair in a mall, overworked, exhausted, and struggling to keep up with my dreams. 

After 10 long years, I was OVER IT and quit the mall. I invested my last $5k into a tiny one room studio. Little did I know, that investment would be my one way ticket out of a paycheck to paycheck lifestyle. 

“I HAVEN’T ALWAYS LIVED THE LIFE OF MY DREAMS:  THE BUSINESS, THE CLIENT, THE THOUSANDS OF LIVES TOUCHED”

I am a  small town North Carolina stylist and salon owner with big dreams. I’m obsessed with fashion, music, memes, and my kids. 

I am probably sipping a  ice-cold toasted almond latte or a tall glass of Moscato D’Asti and dreaming of ways I can help other stylists grow profitable, passionate, authentic, businesses that allow them to live more and work less. 

You wanna know what makes me smile? Making people feel, own, and celebrate their super powers! If I can be the permission in someone’s life that says to them, “what’s stopping you?” while the rest of the world is making them doubt… I’ve done my job.

It was that investment and the taste of entrepreneurship that led me to the 7 figure empire that I am running today. Today you can find me transforming the lives of clients in my 6 station extension studio in Raleigh, NC. Living in my dream home with my two amazing kiddos and dogs.
