Stylist • Salon Owner • Educator in the Rockies

 With 18 years in the industry, my journey began early in my family’s salon—sweeping floors, folding towels, and perfecting the art of the shampoo. I spent several years behind the chair as a barber before discovering my true passion in the world of colour.

 Today, I specialize in custom blondes, lived-in colour, and creating innovative techniques to share with both clients and fellow stylists. Whether I’m working behind the chair or leading a class, I’m driven by creativity, connection, and a deep love for the craft.

I believe in the power of education, staying rooted in your why (even as it evolves), and constantly pushing creative boundaries. In this industry, we wear many hats—and “artist” is one I’ll never take off. Exploring new ideas and having fun will always be at the heart of what I do.
