I’ve been behind the chair for nearly 25 years, helping people find hair that feels like them—effortless, functional, and built to last.

Hairdressing runs in my blood. Some of my earliest memories are watching film noir with my grandmother and accompanying her to the beauty salon for her weekly roller set. Later, as a latchkey kid in the ‘80s and ‘90s, I’d wander my neighborhood and find myself drawn to salon windows, mesmerized by the energy inside—the conversations, the creativity, the sense of community. I remember the moment it clicked that this wasn’t just a fascinating world to observe; it was something I could actually do for a living. I thought, How fun is that?

My first love behind the chair was vintage hairstyling, and I still can’t resist a great updo. Think Brigitte Bardot volume, Pamela Anderson texture, and hair that feels glamorous without feeling overdone. That appreciation for shape, movement, and individuality continues to influence everything I create.

I’m known for my razor cutting, but don’t worry—I still love my scissors, too. Whether I’m creating soft texture, strong shape, or something in between, my focus is always on designing hair that works with your natural texture and fits seamlessly into your life.

My signature hair painting techniques are designed to grow out beautifully, creating natural dimension that enhances the haircut rather than competing with it. I love color that looks effortless, lived-in, and expensive without requiring constant upkeep.

I’ve been a Bay Area hairstylist for over 20 years, after spending my childhood split between Berkeley and South Lake Tahoe. That blend of mountain ease and urban energy still influences my work today. I’m drawn to hair that feels elevated but approachable, polished but never precious.

Throughout my career, I’ve immersed myself in education across all hair types, textures, and cutting techniques. While I don’t consider myself a specialist in any one category, I do consider myself a specialist in hair. If you’ve got it, I do it.

I believe great hair should support your life, not run it. My goal is to create hair that grows out beautifully, feels authentic to who you are, and leaves you feeling more like yourself every time you look in the mirror.
