Hidden talent (beauty-related): I’m the straightening queen! I do Yuko Japanese chemical straighteners all the time.
Hidden talent: Baking, love it so much!
How social media changed my life: I built the business of balayage into an incredibly successful and highly profitable brand before selling my shares and moving on to opening my first 20-station salon, which I filled using social media in less than 6 months. I’m eternally grateful!
The first time I was featured on MODERN’s Insta: We got asked to judge a balayage panel and I felt so privileged to work with a magazine I’ve had so much respect for in my 20 years in the industry!
