tell us about your background as a stylist?

I started out early in my career traveling the world as an educator for a few different companies, getting to work along side of some amazingly talented people. I was lucky enough along the way to do some styling for the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. I've also owned my own salon for 24 years and was able to share that knowledge, training young hairdressers in our industry coming out of beauty school on hair cutting, color and building a clientele. I have a deep passion for this industry and for making my clients happy.

what brought you to the house salon? 

When things are cool you hear about them. There's a buzz. And I heard about this salon about 18 months prior to starting here. The space is beautiful and it inspires creativity. It's beyond unique in aesthetics and the staff is very talented. I knew that The House was a team I wanted to be a part of.
