I started my journey with hair when I was a young teen. I’d cut and color friends and relatives, anyone who would let me experiment. Although my hair got the brunt of my creativity! I loved that a new color or haircut could have the power to change ones appearance and self image so drastically. It was an easy choice when it became time to choose my career.

I’ve now been working behind the chair for almost a decade and love what I do. Graduating in 2010 from Ricci’s Academy in Newtown. I started my career in lower Fairfield County At Noelle Day Spa & Salon. I worked under very skilled and knowledgeable stylists which gave me a strong foundation for what has become a very fruitful career. In 2013 after having my first child I needed to work closer to home, I settled down in Milford, CT and never looked back. I have a strong passion for vivid color, highlights, balayage, haircutting and styling.

Early on I realized that participating in advanced education is one of the most important tools I can give myself and I really enjoy learning new skills. Currently I am certified and proficient with Sunlights Balayage, Brazilian Blowout Professionals and Dream Catchers Hair Extensions. In addition I have taken numerous classes in color correction, dynamic coloring and advanced hair cutting.

They say if you love what you do you don’t work a day in your life and I couldn’t agree more.
