Pro tips: Find the right light source in and outside of the salon that work for different times of the day.
Hidden talent: I can moon walk - still pretty proud of myself for that.
How social media changed my life: Social media built so many new relationships that allowed me to grow personally and professionally. I’ve learned a lot.
The first time I was featured on MODERN’s Insta: I couldn’t stop smiling the first time I saw my name associated with Modern Salon. I had to do a double-take. I’m always proud of my work but it was shocking to see my name there. Still a highlight.
