about me
BORN AND RAISED: I am straight out of hell, but I reside in Denver.
PERSONAL STYLE: I dress a bit like the band AC/DC (or my psychotic, fashion-y version thereof).
CELEB I WOULD LIKE TO MAKEOVER: Nancy Grace, although her hair is only the beginning.
FAVORITE ITEM IN WARDROBE: Tom Ford for Gucci motorcross jacket in butterscotch leather.
FAVORITE TOOL: Give me a teasing comb, and some strong hairspray, and I can stir some serious trouble.
MY FAVORITE DAY INVOLVES: Chardonnay and Neiman Marcus.
MY MENTORS: Horst Rechelbacher, Ray Civello, David Raccuglia, Robert Lobetta.
THE BEST THING ABOUT MY JOB: I love the variety my career affords me: shows, shoots, clients, teaching, consulting—it’s quite intoxicating.
IF I HADN’T BECOME A HAIRDRESSER I WOULD HAVE: I fantasize about being a prolific and provocative avant garde architect, visual artist or controversial movie director.
MOST PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO LEARN: I am nice.
I BECAME A HAIRDRESSER BECAUSE: I love doing hair more than I love my first Prada backpack—and that’s a big deal!
