What I'm looking for

I am seeking opportunities that allow me to leverage my expertise in beauty education and mentorship, fostering growth and creativity within a supportive team environment.

With over 20 years in the beauty industry, I have honed my skills as a hairstylist and educator, specializing in client education and mentorship. My journey has been marked by a commitment to enhancing salon culture through training and product knowledge, fostering strong relationships with clients, and delivering engaging, hands-on instruction.

As a Color Consultant at oVertone, I provided personalized hair color advice and customer support across various platforms, ensuring successful outcomes for clients. My role as a Senior Hairstylist and In-Salon Educator at The Style Lounge allowed me to lead educational sessions for junior stylists, promoting growth and excellence within the team. I am passionate about empowering both professionals and clients through education and brand storytelling, and I thrive in environments that value inclusivity and integrity.
