Most viral post: I posted a color correction video where I put depth back into a deep brunette who was overly blonde. The cover of the video was a REALLY harsh line of orange/yellow blonde on her dark hair which was why I think people liked it so much they wanted to see the end result. I quickly got a ton of views and it’s now at about 206,000.

Favorite apps: I love Facetune the most, it’s a really great way to make the background of your photos look bright and white, it’s also nice when you can smooth your skin before you post a selfie!

Favorite hashtags: #modernsalon of course! I also use #makeitsalty which is our salon hashtag and #brunettebalayage is always a go to.

I follow: @megahairmaniac @coloredbykp @painthatmane and my boss lady @prettylittleombre. I also love my new friend @emily_snips, she posts amazing videos and tutorials, @kristin_ess is a hair goddess, and @saripaints has that amazing edginess that I love.

Pro tips: Picture quality. Natural light is key and taking photos in front of a window is what works the best for me. Also, take a ton of photos from different angles so you have more content later on.

Hidden talent (beauty-related): Not a lot of people know that I was a makeup artist for years! I’m still known to bust out some wedding makeup for my favorite brides from time to time.

Hidden talent: I may or may not have been the lead singer in a band, now I just like to mess around with my ukulele and sing.

How social media changed my life: I feel so lucky that I’ve got to network with so many amazing artist and made so many new friends. I wouldn’t have met my tribe or have been an educator if it weren’t for social media.

The first time I was featured on MODERN’s Insta: The first time I was featured on MODERN SALON’s insta it was a short silver melt. I freaked out; I felt so blessed and grateful.
