I am a hairstylist and small town girl who loves simplicity, coffee, & people. I love every unique trait of each individual that I meet. I’ve been given many gifts in this life, but my two greatest gifts are being a wife and mommy! My third is getting to love on people everyday. I get to express creativity and show love by making people feel their best. A smile, good haircut, and meaningful conversation can make someone’s whole outlook change. That’s my goal everyday – to make people feel loved and feel their best. Our world needs more smiles & good hair days!
Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.
I’m married to my dream guy Brett. We met in a parking lot and have been laughing together ever since. We have two children that we adore, Lily and Nate. We love simple things, but our favorite thing might be living room dance parties!
Q: Please tell us about your current, past, or future career. What do you love most about what you do?
I knew after cosmetology school that I needed more. I met Daniel Jones thru my school. Thanks to Muse Salon and Spa I met 2 ladies that molded me into the stylist that I am today. The education and confidence I received at Muse is something I think about daily. I’m thankful for my time there as well as my time at other places that invested in me. I’m thankful for each person I’ve met in my hair world. I am the stylist and owner I am today because of them. There is nothing else I would rather do in this world. Investing in people and knowing what makes them who they are is a gift that I never want to tire of.
