Coming Home
I have lived all over and had the opportunity to study under many of the greats in the industry. After almost 14 years I have finally come home to share my knowledge with my home town. It has most certainly been an adjustment getting used to the slower pace and not being stressed out by work or day to day life. I will always love New York, I went to school and apprenticed in the city. It is also where I honed my craft with two of the masters in the industry. I worked professionally for 12 years, and have a wonderful clientele in Manhattan. Los Angeles was an adjustment and I worked behind the chair but also truly mastered my education skills. Teaching with the greats and helping young hairdressers to grow, after 3 1/2 years I decided I wanted to moved back to my roots to my family and heritage. I am adjusting well and looking forward to time spend with family and continuing to make people feel and look beautiful.
