​My Story

Born and raised here in Missouri, I’m proud to serve our southern Jefferson County community.
As a busy woman myself, I understand how important self care is. To need to feel pampered, valued and beautiful. I've designed my shared salon suite experience in a way that will leave you feeling refreshed, understood, and confident.
With 20 years behind the chair, I’ve developed a specialty in hair troubleshooting. You could call me a “hair behavioralist.” I love offering solutions to transform & reshape hair: short to long and luxurious, flat to voluminous, frizzy to smooth, thick to manageable and moveable, all while staying current through ongoing education.
While most stylist can get you in and out and provide a nice first visit, I see my role as your stylist a bit differently. I feel the most important part of my job is communication. I want you to feel confident about your service before we even start by thoroughly listening to your needs and hair challenges so I can outline the process for you and even discuss goals for the future visits. You can also count on me to take my time and pay attention to detail. I'll never rush you out the door and I'll do my very best to make sure you're satisfied with the final results.
If large, high energy salons make you feel intimidated, overwhelmed or unseen, you’re not alone. My chair and our salon is an inviting, inclusive, and peaceful space where you can truly unwind.

Outside the salon, you'll find me hanging out with my husband, family, and friends, planning my next travel adventure, attending concerts.
