Bio

I always had a thing for playing dress up. In my younger years, I just about ran through every bottle of Aqua-net in Texas practicing on my four sisters for the perfect hot-roller set.

After finding my home and community here in (greater) LA, I found my way to Byu-ti Hair Therapy in Santa Monica, California, the highly unique creative space owned by Natasha Sunshine. My time at Byu-ti has incubated and fed many creative bursts and professional growth, and am happy to serve as Head of Education for my team.  As a newly recruited PureArtist, I am proud to be a team member in the Pureology West Coast Flagship Salon.

I am specialized in hairdressing, hair coloring and education, as well as as being an accomplished make-up artist. I love my time in the classroom, and as I strive always to be a better leader, I thrive on remaining a good student and expanding my craft. I enjoy appearances on TV and the web as well as an expanding fashion and editorial protfolio, and am always connected to my theatrical roots. I find the intense thrill of runway fashion a delcious combination of all my passions. I offer my own special blend of superb quality artistic and educational works. I pride myself in being a versatile asset to any creative team or project .

I love to affect change; externally, of course, but sometimes when I’m lucky, internally, too, –for a day or for life. A thing of beauty can stop time, stop you in your tracks, and stop your breath.

“Love of beauty is Taste.

The creation of beauty is Art.”
