I specialize in long, alternative cuts - shags, mullets, and bobs. I’m drawn to offbeat styles: big, flippy ’90s blowouts, cute, quirky pixie-bobs, and soft, romantic shapes. I also love working with curly hair and creating cuts that enhance its natural movement. I work with color ranging from rich, natural hues to bold, vivid tones - always focusing on what complements your individuality, texture, and personal style. I look to my own culture for inspiration, which deepens my appreciation for natural texture and the ancestral and cultural significance of hair. Every cut and color is a collaboration, honoring where you come from while reflecting who you are now. My goal is for you to leave feeling like an elevated version of yourself - grounded, confident, and seen.
