United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a licensed hairstylist and salon owner with extensive experience in color services, hair extensions, and salon operations. I have built and managed a team while delivering high-quality client results and specialized education in extension techniques.
As owner of Bombshell Hair Studio since 2018, I oversee payroll, scheduling, ordering and staff management while maintaining an active client schedule as a color and extension specialist. I also teach a two-day hands-on course covering four hair extension methods through Dreamcatchers Hair Extensions.
Earlier in my career I held assistant management responsibilities and consistent roles as a stylist and color specialist, and I bring prior experience in pharmacy technician roles that strengthened my accuracy, customer service, and administrative skills.
