I am an energetic hairstylist with thirteen years of experience.  I love fashion and consider myself a trendsetter.  I will take advantage of any situation to make my mark in the industry.  My styles have appeared in movies, music videos, professional portfolios, major ad campaigns and magazines (  in the fashion industy ) from editorial to commercial print styles.  I have been trained by On Set Motion Pictures Academy.  I believe CONTINUITY is very important.  Hair is my passion!  My love for it is obvious when you see my work.  My style is quite versatile - from  everyday to avant garde.  My pleasant personality makes it very easy to work with me.
