​

Years ago, I began my journey of becoming a hairstylist.  I chose this profession because I loved using my creative and artistic talents to connect with others in a way that felt therapeutic. I have always felt drawn to the uniqueness of the salon industry as it has provided an opportunity to talk and listen one on one and get close and personal with your clients. 

After graduating hair school, I got a job at a beautiful, high-end salon where I grew exponentially.  My clientele took off. We were given so many opportunities for personal and professional growth. It was through this that I began to learn that this industry is unique in that healing can occur through conversations and relaxation techniques. I began taking the time to appreciate this and use it to help my clients relax and connect with themselves. This gave me my passion for healing. In the short time I was there, I was honing in my skills, becoming a better me and helping others feel better. I felt at home.

Unfortunately, after about a couple years, our salon began making some changes. Changes that many traditional salons go through. Payment structure changed that didn’t value the employees, responsibilities increased,  product changed, and prices raised too fast.  Our clients left to find somewhere else to go,  there were employee problems and we started to have high turnover.  A lot of these changes didn’t feel fair to the employees who have been there for years, but seems to be very typical in our industry.  It completely changed the environment and it wasn’t long before the salon fell apart and everyone left.
