To this day, seeing someone’s face light up after a fresh haircut or a complete transformation still makes me feel the same way it did in November of 1991. I’m still a day-maker.

Over the course of my two-and-a-half-decade hairdressing journey, I have had so many wonderful experiences. These experiences have really helped me mold who I am as a hairdresser and has allowed me to understand the true impact I have on being a day maker. I stood on the sidelines of Kansas City Chiefs games at what was then called Arrowhead Stadium - being one of the few entrusted to take care of the cheerleading squad on game days and beyond. I have driven a few hundred miles to grasp as much color education as I could find to add to my toolbox. I have flown to Vegas to congregate with 5,000 other hairdressers so we could learn, share stories and dance. I’ve learned the power of being a servant leader and to help other hairdressers build their dreams too. Continuing to learn and grow as a hairdresser and leader has brought me to the present day. I am beyond grateful that I get to take all the wisdom and knowledge I’ve gained to continue to help people put that pep in their step by creating beautiful looks for them; and be a day maker.

When I am not behind the chair, I always have my hands in something... refurbing old furniture, gardening, cooking, baking....you name it. My husband of twenty-five years and me are very active with our church, volunteer with Husky Haven of Florida and have SIX Siberian Huskies of our own: Zeppelin, Riley, Bear, Chloe, Lucy and Daisy.
