FAVORITE SITES/BLOGS: I’m beauty obsessed. I also spend a lot of time planning events so I end up looking at a combination of business-related and beauty-specific sites like Style Sight and Biz Bash. I love Pinterest, Twitter, Instagram. You should look at Lucy’s (Lucy Doughty, Paul Mitchell Editorial Director ) Twitter. I read beauty editor’s blogs and this site, every day, Cupcakes & Cashmere.
BEST PART OF MY JOB: The people. Really, everyone is so willing to help, at any time. It’s a wonderful, supportive team.
NOW READING: I read all day long at work that when I get home, I don’t do much.
NOW LISTENING TO: I love, love music. I blast music in my office all day. This spring, I saw Alt-J at The Wiltern, Portugal.The Man at the Hollywood Palladium. (NOTE: Since this interview, we are certain she has been to many more concerts. -MODERN SALON)
HIDDEN TALENT: I was a dancer and I still take classes. Lately I’ve been taking Bollywood Classes. I love it.
WORST PART OF MY JOB: I can get a little intense. I sometimes have to remind myself that it’s only shampoo.
