With more than three decades in the salon industry, I’ve recently brought my passion for hair and beauty from the fast pace of metro New York to the soulful streets of New Orleans. With over 30 years of experience behind the chair, I specialize in precision cutting and expert color services for both men and women.

My journey has included roles as a color educator and business educator for Eufora International, where I helped other stylists elevate both their craft and their business acumen. As a former salon owner of 20+ years, I understand the art of balancing creativity with professionalism—and I bring that same commitment to excellence to every guest I serve.

I believe education is the heartbeat of our industry. Throughout my career, I’ve remained dedicated to ongoing learning, staying current with trends, techniques, and tools to ensure my clients always leave feeling confident and inspired.

Now based in New Orleans, I’m thrilled to welcome new clients into my chair and to bring a touch of East Coast polish to the vibrant energy of the Crescent City.
