Professional hair bestie.
Believe in yourself.
You can be successful in this industry by being nice and generous with your knowledge.
I'm always thinking about my WHY. Why I do it, why I love it. Always remember your WHY!
Being competitive or delivering an elitist brand.
Education 100%! Never stop learning.
That you're only allowed to love hair! You are a full person with a full life!
Hair doesn't have to be your only focus. Find things that bring you creativity and happiness outside of hair and it will bring you closer to hair.

Androgyny! People are using hair as an expression of who they are on the inside more. There's no 'one size fits all.' Experimenting outside of the hair binary is so fun right now.
LGBTQ+ affirming services! We have a responsibility to create inclusive spaces so people can experiment and feel good about playing with their look.
Community over competition in salons! We all deserve to work somewhere where we feel at home and comfortable with our peers, and feel free to experiment and try new things with the support of our colleagues.
