1. Why hair?
Let me be honest, i'm not going to say it was what I always wanted to do from a young age, I have always been into fashion and one thing lead to another and doors opened up to me in this career so I gave it a try; I've never looked back! It was the best decision and direction I could have made and taken with my life.
2.What trends are you liking?
Texture, it's all about texture long or short
3. What advice would you give to an aspiring hair stylist?
To educate yourself and never stop educating yourself.
4. Where did you get your start in hair-styling?
I started with two guys who had worked with Vidal Sassoon for many years and had started their own salon. They later went to Allen Edwards.

Vidal Sassoon.
6. What's your favorite part of your career?
The creativity that is allowed to us and the people we come across in our industry.
7. What's the one hair care product we should invest in?
The most important product to own is a professional blow dryer and flat iron. Then the correct shampoo and conditioner.
8. What's the most damaging thing we can do to our hair?
Doing your own color to try and save money, it will end up costing more in the long run.
9. Where do you get inspiration for new looks?
The street, magazines, classes, co-workers. I also try to get to New York twice per year for education and to get a feel of what's "happening".

Paddle board and photography.
