* EMPOWERING* ENERGETIC * COLOURFUL​

I (and those around me) would describe me as empowering, energetic, a massive comedian, super passionate in life, and creative with an answer for every rhetorical question never needed even.   A problem solver who always needs to help. 

​

My hair journey started as work experience in high school 08’. While still in my grad dress left my small town and started hair school.  Hair was my one natural  talent, and I figured if I’m only going to have one talent- then I’m going to master it.

 

I constantly challenged myself. Learned all I could.  When I did all the education I could with the company I worked with I then completed the Matrix mastery program. I decided I needed more and became an educator.   I was fast tracked through the program levels because of my people and hair skills.   Within my first year I was working on stage with big names and published in hair magazines.   Teaching classes all over Alberta, and thriving in growth.  Then I had a baby.  

 

Now I’m a mom with a work life balance and had to hang up my educator and stage artist shoes.  But even with that I have the goal and dream to make a serious name in the greater Vancouver area one day for my craft.  Looking to chase constant growth and never stop learning.  

 

Who I serve?  Everyone in need of a boost.  I do what I do to give every person boosted self love and confidence.   To put everyone in their most powerful self by showing them the potential of their own identity. To help the outside match the inside and spark their self love.  There is nothing more gratifying than empowering those around you.   I specialize in colors, cuts, corrective services, braids, styles, and barbering.  I find dopamine in all types of services.  My greatest love is transformation, making a noticeable change, and acing the challenge presented to me.

 

In my free time, I don’t have free time.  Haha I do mom things and keep my house rolling as smooth as possible.  I go through monthly hyper fixations that usually revolve around different art or puzzle things.  Playing old video games and exploring all things and places around me. I also enjoy traveling. And most importantly- naps.  Naps are life.  This much energy requires naps to recharge.  I low key resonate with snorlax.
