Title: Level 2 Stylist
Hometown: Whittier, CA
Education: International School of Cosmetology - I have spent countless hours pursuing education (including in-salon education) as well as traveling to seek out the best classes to learn from. My firm belief in Redken's education has taken me their New York City-based training facility several times as well as their Las Vegas-based symposiums.
What inspired me to pursue a career in beauty: I've been a stylist since birth, but been licensed for 10 years! I pursued this career because of the ability to be creative everyday. To be able to work with people and facilitate their personality and their own personal creativity through their hair is very gratifying for me.
Awards or Recognitions: I am continuously investing in education. Today, more than ever, with the media and celebrity being ever-present in our daily lives, stylists have to constantly be on top of current trends and fashion.
Celebrity style I admire: I am a big fan of Nicole Ritchie's fashion sense. She seems to have a huge sense of comfortably with style, yet with total direction, in which her 'own' personal style seems to always come through. Her blend of current trends, mixed with old bohemian style, seems timeless. I also admire celebrities who like to change their look. I love their willingness to change and play with hair color. Scarlett Johanson and Cameron Diaz change their color often and vary from beautiful shades of blonde to deep, rich brunette colors. Both have also enhanced and warmed their shades by adding reds and coppers, which make their complexions glow and glisten.
A little more about me: I specialize in Dimensional Color and high lighting (natural highlights, custom gray coverage and color balancing with balayage technique), Precision Texture Shaping/Cutting (expert shear work, razor finishing and dry cutting using the Sahag Method), Custom Finish Work (signature blowouts, round brush blowout for body and flat iron finishing), Special Occasion and Bridal (fashion-forward event styling for prom, homecoming and other dances as well as 'Bridal Style' for the bride and wedding party done either on location or in-salon) and Session Makeup for photography and events.
