Tips to get the best results on a post: I have recently started hashtagging the cities of where my clients live to gain interest in new markets. It has really helped me book more gigs out of my area, and I love it!

Favorite professional beauty products: Anything Kenra, Powder Play from Big Sexy is also a favorite!

How social media changed my life: I remember the first time I booked a wedding a girl reached out to me on Instagram after seeing a picture of hair I posted. I was still in cosmetology school so I was so shocked! I love being able to reach so many different people by just posting a photo.

The first time I was featured on Modern Salon was when I won the Kenra contest! And I'm so thankful for that.
