About Me
BORN/RAISED: Born in Aibonito, Puerto Rico. Raised in New York and New Jersey.
MY STYLE: Casual and a bit urban. Playing dress up rocks!
MY HAIR RIGHT NOW: My hair is unruly with mixed texture so I just shave it. It’s clean, sexy and I get to live vicariously through my work.
I WOULD LOVE TO MAKEOVER: Lindsay Lohan—I think we should reconnect so I can get her back to a beautiful ginger.
MY BEST JOB EVER: My job now—I am a salon owner, creative director for Sultra, celebrity and session stylist. It’s fun, unpredictable and exciting.
IF I HADN’T BECOME A HAIRDRESSER: I would have been an attorney. I am a Libra, I love justice and strive for balance and equality. And I love a good debate and dialogue.
MY SECRET TALENT: Singing. I love to sing and I’m pretty good.
I RELAX BY: Meditating. I dedicate one hour every day to reflect on my day, and relax, relate, release.
MY MENTOR: Ziggy, a friend and stylist out of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I was eight years old when he began to train me as a hairdresser—he’s a genius. His discipline and way of thinking is awesome! Thank you, Ziggy!
MY MOTTO: “Ainsi va la vie” or “That’s how life goes.” Good bad or ugly.
I BECAME A HAIRDRESSER BECAUSE: It was my destiny. When I was 3 years old, I used to tell my nanny, “When I grow up I am going to become a stylist so I can fix your ugly hair.” When I became a hairdresser I did fix her hair. She looks fabulous now!
