Here’s a little bit about me —

My journey in hair began at Paul Mitchell Portland where I originally focused on vivids + creative color. While studying different techniques, I ended up falling in love with the art of balayage which then became my new obsession. After graduating in 2020, I worked as an apprentice for a year where I expanded my knowledge on traditional balayage + lived-in color. I then opened my own studio where I continued to grow independently for 3 years as a color specialist. Now, in 2026, I am continuing to evolve behind the chair as an independent stylist, offering color services ranging from low-maintenance balayage to fantasy colors, I'm down for it all!

Over the years, I’ve really developed a love for dimensional brunettes, lived-in blondes + low-maintenance color that feels effortless and grows out beautifully. While my speciality has changed since day 1 in beauty school, I’m so excited to now begin welcoming vivid color back into my books this year alongside my signature color services!

This December, I will be starting a new chapter in my career as an independent stylist at Reference Salon in NW Portland. I am so ready to get into the new space + can't wait to see you there!
