MODERN SALON 100: 2018
Authentic. Driven. Compassionate.
Don't compare yourself to others, and work hard because you're in charge of your own destiny.
Establish boundaries.
It's a simple lesson, but one that can change the course of your career.

Taking care of myself.
Pilates has become one of my favorite ways to care for both my mind and body. It improves my strength, posture and mobility while giving me the mental reset I need after long days behind the chair.
Being overly accommodating with clients. Healthy boundaries benefit both you and the people you serve.
Business education. Investing in my business knowledge has been just as valuable as investing in technical education.
Early in my career, I thought success meant saying yes to everything—every client, every opportunity and every wedding date.
Over time, I realized success isn't about doing more; it's about doing the right things well.
I've also learned that work-life balance doesn't magically appear once you're successful. It's something you have to intentionally create and protect. The better I take care of myself, the better I show up for my clients, my family and my business.
Sleek hair styling. It's timeless, polished, classy and clean.
Hair and makeup artists deserve to be recognized as true wedding professionals.
We're often overlooked, but we're responsible for how a bride looks and feels on one of the most important days of her life and that's what lives on forever in the photographs.
Creating an unforgettable client experience—and strong communication. Those two skills will continue to separate great artists from everyone else.
Never stop learning, but don't just invest in your technical skills, invest in yourself.
The most successful artists I know stay curious, build genuine relationships and understand that growth happens through collaboration, not competition.
There will always be someone with more experience or a bigger following, but your greatest asset is being uniquely you. Stay committed to your craft, serve your clients well and trust that consistency will take you farther than chasing quick success ever will.
