How social media changed my life: Since I don't own a Salon and do special event styling only, its changed my life! I am able to gain not only followers but clients who love my work. Without a Social Media platform I wouldn't be booking well into 2018 for bridal hair and makeup. Reviews play such a huge role into today's society, so I always try to have my brides review their experience and let other brides know that they are in good hands.
The first time I was featured on MODERN SALON was: I was featured for the first time on February 16, 2016 with my "Double Dutch Braid" and my heart about beat outside of my chest! I felt so honored that they would share and like my work, it was truly a great feeling!
