🤠Howdy! Thanks for stopping by! I am a hairstylist in Austin, Texas. I am a native Austinite and I have a huge family of natives here too! 

🤓 I come from a family of nerds. My dad is super into computers and my mom is crafty AF which explains a lot about me

📹 I was one of those kids that was always performing skits for my family, playing with friends with camcorders, or creating cringey school projects.

🤩I loved playing with Barbie’s, goofing around with hair and makeup, and bugging my mom in her sewing room.

👨‍🔧 Growing up, my gamer brother was always taking computers apart and re-building them in the room next to me. I am def not on his nor my dad’s level, but they sure taught me a thing or two about technology.

💫 In beauty school and as a salon intern I would always jump at any chance to do hair for a contest, take a class on the latest trends, or volunteer to do anything for more experience. Most were pretty “out there” but it was super fun to experiment and network that way.

🐉 Even when I got to start taking my own clients, I loved getting my co-workers together during our days off to create avant garde looks on models for photoshoots to enter in competitions in hopes of getting featured in magazines (before social media existed).

🎤 I LOVED going to hair shows and getting inspired by them. I would come back to the salon and teach my colleagues everything I learned whether they liked it or not LOL. Sending a HUGE thank you to all my previous co-workers who put up with all my crazy shananagans.

💖I guess you could say it all makes sense as to why I am so fascinated with artistic designs, hair trends, and content creation. Social media is such a big part of any business, it has been so fun watching the beauty industry adapt and intertwine with all the new technology available in the modern times.

🧜‍♀️ I really took a deep dive into hair extensions in 2018. I started with tape-ins and have graduated to hand-tied hair extensions. I got to take a class with influencer @hairbychrissy at Habit Salon in AZ thanks to the help of my salon at the time, Bella, helping me get there. After that, I worked at Headspace Salon and Coop where extensions were a HUGE passion for a lot of us. There I became more intimate with other extension methods thanks to the owner and staff there.

🤳My journey has recently took a turn after the pandemic when I started to dive deeper in social media content creation. I went nuts making Tik Tok hair tutorials in order to connect with my clients virtually during the shutdown. I ended up having a lot more fun than I thought I expected. I was super nervous to get in front of the camera (still do!). I was used to doing other peoples hair and letting them be the star. It was then that I discovered influencer @jera.bean on Tik Tok where she was creating tutorials for beginners. I decided to take her course called the Social Media Saloon. I learned a wealth of knowledge and the cherry on top was that I got to connect with a lot of like minded individuals who have changed my life forever. They believed in me before I ever did.

✨ I started to rent a suite in 2020 and have been loving self-employment. I feel so at peace working for myself and continue to build my clientele. I am not sure what my future holds but I’m dabbling in a few things so we shall see!

👩‍🎨 I made a YouTube channel in which I teach a hair extension course to hairstylists. If you haven’t learned how to do extensions yet, or you want to pick my brain and hone in on your existing skills, I recommend checking it out! It is linked in one of the tabs above under “Hair Extensions”.

✌️Alright, that was a lot! Thank you for reading and I look forward to getting to know YOU!
