Did you apprentice under anyone and what knowledge did you gain from that experience?
I am currently apprenticing for Sirens Salon Owner Emma Ulland. I’m gaining everything from the experience! It’s amazing what hairdressers think they know until they get out of cosmetology school. I feel very fortunate to have found a great mentor and make the right decision to seek apprenticeship.
What do you love about the art of hairdressing?
The idea of transformation. There are so many amazing looks that came from each decade. I can really appreciate the amount of effort women used to put into their hair since the 1920’s – 60’s. To me, hairdressing is the same as what a block of marble is to a sculptor. There are endless possibilities.
What is your hair specialty?
Being that I’m still apprenticing, there are so many things I’m discovering, and still have yet to discover. I hope to specialize in sets and styles. I’m confident to say I can give a killer blowout.
What’s your favorite hair product? Why?
Unite Boosta Spray. I’m a big believer in Volume! I’m not one of the fortunate people that was born with it, so I’m always striving to create it. I believe Volume is the foundation to having sexy hair and making an art of it.
What are you passionate about?
Art has always motivated everything I do in life. I’m very passionate about Music, film, writing, and fashion. Except for writing, hair is a major factor in all those things. We express ourselves through our hair. We even take our emotions out on our hair. I think I chose a good career path.
