I deliver personalized hair services, salon operations support, and exceptional client experiences.
What I'm looking for
I've built a loyal clientele as a freelance hair stylist with Glamsquad by providing detail-oriented styling, personalized treatments, and strong customer service.
At Madison Reed, I supported salon operations by organizing appointments, creating client color formulas, and maintaining products and hair-care supplies.
I've also taught cosmetology at Aveda, where I created curriculum, delivered practical demonstrations, evaluated student techniques, and organized salon settings that reflected real-world work.
My experience also includes secure testing check-ins at Brainseed Testing, retail customer service at TJ Maxx, and front-desk scheduling support in a salon environment.
