I am an artist originally from North Carolina and am passionate about making people feel beautiful and confident. I have been doing hair since 2011 and love working with Eufora color and styling products. My strengths and passions involve natural highlighting and custom blonding (including grey blending) for a low-maintenance grow-out. I love doing natural dimensional brunettes that are blended and soft. I love doing classic layered haircuts with movement, precision bobs, textured mullets, shags, and also working with natural curls. I love to educate my clients on how to keep their hair healthy and manageable while also keeping it simple. I'm passionate about creating a safe space for neurodiverse children and adults- knowing that patience and safety is important and inclusive. I also respect all gender identities and pronouns wherever you are on your journey to you. When I'm not being creative behind the chair I love oil painting, playing my guitar/drums, yoga and spending time with my animals. Can't wait to meet you!

I have enjoyed being on set, behind the chair and back stage as a hair and makeup stylist for over two decades. My experience journeys from Redken and Cutler to the Neo Burlesque scene and Circus Nightlife of New York City. With an intuitive approach to various forms of creation, I have become a wiser woman, more versatile artist and healer. My favorite hair work ranges from loose lived in looks to punk rock styles and tight fades! And talking about trauma, death, spirituality, astrology, healing and all things energy is my vibe! Originally from Mississippi and coming out of 15 yrs in NYC, I’m looking forward to my new, whole and balanced life here in Asheville.
