MY STORY
Hair has always been more than a skill for me—it’s been a language. Long before it became my career, I was the one family and friends trusted with their most important moments, instinctively understanding how hair can transform the way a woman carries herself.
After the destruction of my childhood home during Hurricane Katrina, beauty became something deeper: restoration. Confidence. Identity. That chapter shaped the way I approach every client today—with intention, care, and the belief that luxury should always feel safe.
That foundation led me into professional cosmetology and eventually into high-pressure environments where excellence is expected—on set, on camera, and in rooms where timing matters and results must be flawless the first time.
