I became infatuated with hair and beauty at an early age and knew I had to follow my passion, which lead me to enroll in a 4-year Hair Academy. After graduation, I attended the Wella Professional Hair Color training program in Munich, Germany. Upon returning, I furthered my knowledge of cutting and styling with some of the region’s leading stylists. With this foundation I set about my career as a budding professional stylist, and have spent the past 15 years developing my style and honing my skills while working in salons, photo and TV shoots, and fashion shows in Europe.

My insatiable drive to perfect the art form kept me traveling throughout Europe to attend numerous hair shows from industry leaders such as Vidal Sassoon and Toni & Guy, each time gaining valuable knowledge and inspiration. Now my path has led me to Los Angeles, where I have spent several years mastering the art of a unique hair cutting technique known as the DryCut.
Through many years of practice, training and an innate grasp of her client’s needs, I will deliver amazing results regardless of your desired look.
