 I attended beauty school at the European Institute of Cosmetology (a school which, at the time, was the best in Portland) under the direction of NAHA Award winning and infamous hairstylist Ryan Teal.  Upon graduation I wanted to build upon the my skills and headed to the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Toronto, Canada to become a precision cutting specialist, and not to toot my own horn, but not everyone knows how to do that.   It is hard, takes a keen eye, and uses certain body positioning and shear control.  Why does this matter?  It works with the shape of the hair and the natural way the hair falls, allowing a cut that makes for effortless styling.

Most recently I have been trained in Bumble and Bumble styling – a company whose education has surpassed many other company’s in recent years.   Even though I no longer use B&B, I can give you one mean blow out. I have attended countless Goldwell color classes, a color line used by many top salons for it’s longevity and gently chemical make-up.  This helps curb my appetite for learning AND this way I can custom mix colors for a person. …so that no one else in Portland will have that shade of brown, that prefect balance between a warm and cool blonde. To be perfectly honest, this is a truly selfish purpose because I love to see people’s faces light up when I get it just right.

Enough shop talk, on a more personal note; I love meeting new people. I love bright colors. I am a hopeless romantic, even if my love life is non-existent – for now.  I have a weakness for musicals. I have the naughtiest little dog, Delila, and I absolutely adore her. And I want to meet you.  And do your hair.
