I am very excited to be growing! In January 15th of 2018 we moved the studio into a bigger space and I partnered up with another salon. We were busting at the seams in the studio so we will slowly transition into a bigger space, This is an exciting move full of growth, potential and positivity. I am honored to have such a wonderful clientele and a strong team that allows for the guests to continue having a great experience in my business.
"GIVERS GAIN"
I entered the hair world through the barbers in my family, leading me towards a direction that I was very passionate about, and then during this time at the Antoine Du Chez hair academy, I realized I wanted to work behind the chair in a salon atmosphere. I was able to create great results while working hard in school, achieving my cosmetology license, and then went on to work for the Antoine Du Chez Salons located in the metro area. During my years in the business, I dedicated myself to this craft and I was able to develop relationships all over the nation, with the very best in the industry so that I could learn and constantly grow into a better hair designer. Along the path, there were a few major focal points that I chose to really work hard developing a superior skill set for, including hair cutting, hair extensions, hair color and two of my favorite things to do almost as a hobby that provides an income are fashion shows, and editorial work. Extensions started when I found out that they were incredibly expensive to put in, and that they require a specialized skill to properly craft the right hair and installation with the right person. I spent time traveling to places like Miami, West Hollywood/Beverly Hills, Las Vegas and New York, to learn from some of the top extension professionals and the different cutting edge techniques. I also spent a time educating for an extension company offering to show newer, younger stylists the proper places to order products, giving them the education to properly install the hair at a top level. Hair Color is something that will always be close to my heart because I started my career as a color specialist at Antoine Du Chez. After years with their company, I earned the title of Featured Colorist at the DTC location, then became the Educational Director at the Cherry Creek location. I have developed a highly trained eye and superior color placement techniques to provide beautiful, consistent results on every head of hair that I color. Hair cutting has completely consumed me over the past few years and I have become a fan of the designing process of a haircut. I have learned some of the top techniques from all over the world, with a focus on Japanese culture. As a previous J Beverly hills Hair Cutting Educator and platform artist, I have learned from people from France, Germany, Spain, Italy, Japan, New York and LA, and I take my knowledge gained over the years and use it to create superior hair designs, no matter what the length of the hair or texture. I have developed cutting strategies that are being taught to my colleagues with great success. Curly Hair is something that I was able to get a very intimate relationship with over the years, since everybody in my family including myself has curly hair. This has given me the opportunity to really hone my skills in and after getting advanced training in Ouidad and Diva Curl cutting and styling techniques; allowing me to develop enough knowledge to make curls absolutely beautiful. One of my favorite results is when a client expresses that they didn't know their curly hair could look and feel so nice. There are no smoke and mirrors with my curly haircuts; they do cost a bit more but for very good reason. I have built a great trust with my curly clients because I believe I have what they are looking for, which is uniform, defined curls, with a great shape and reduced frizz. I have been blessed to have created a reputation to have a flair for the catwalk and become a "go-to" name in Colorado for high end editorial work. Styling hair has always been something I love to do, and I was previously leading a team of J Beverly Hills professionals whom I hand picked to be a part of the J Beverly Hills Design Team. My work has been published all over the world, and my design team has been featured at every major fashion show or hair show in Colorado. I have a true passion for creating superior results no matter what aspect of hair it involves. I have a desire to share the knowledge that I have gained over the years, so I'm constantly giving classes to the local beauty academies, as well as visiting top salons and teaching them some of the strategies I use successfully behind the chair.

There is passion in my heart for hair so I utilize that passion to fill my heart and use it as a tool to make people happy, one head at a time.
