As someone who had stick straight hair most of my life, I never thought my niche would be as a curly stylist. Over the years, my hair changed from almost too smooth to having a lot of frizz that was easily blown out. I came into natural texture/curly styling after a major color change left my hair so damaged I couldn’t use conventional styling methods like blowdrying or heat tools.

All through my time as a stylist, my emphasis has always been to embrace & encourage what your hair wants to do naturally & so I joined a curly salon & enthusiastically learned the art of curls. As I learned about natural texture, I kept thinking my hair would become more curly, but, as you can see, I’m slightly wavy at best. But, by that time, I was hooked on curly cutting & styling & I loved it so much that I’ve made it my specialty. If your hair bends, wiggles, waves, curls or coils, I’m here to help you understand your unique texture (if you’re new to curls) or to give you an amazing cut & styling to bring out the best in your hair.

Focusing first, on clean products & healthy, hydrated hair, I love to blend together intuition, creativity & knowledge gleaned from several curly certifications to empower all textures to celebrate their own hairs’ uniqueness.

When I’m not in the salon, you’ll likely find me out exploring San Diego, LA & SoCal in general, going on beach walks, practicing yoga, getting lost down rabbit holes on Spotify or Netflix, reading, making healthy GF goodies & hanging with my hubby & our kitty.
