My main goal is to make sure my clients feel confident and glowing. I specialize in sun-kissed color & natural extension work. I love getting to know my clients, I am very detailed oriented and I am known for my skillfulness in my work. I’m a Virgo Sun, Libra rising & Capricorn moon. Meaning, I do take a slower, more mindful approach to hair & clientele. I’ll always make sure you leave happy and come back happy! I'm a St. Louis native, I have loved doing hair and makeup for as long as I can remember. I was in the honors program while attending cosmetology school. I am a former certified Chanel makeup artist as well. My artistry has been featured in local Saint Louis Magazines as well as online with some of the biggest Midwest modeling agencies. I see inspiration in everything-from travel, nature and fashion.
