About Me

Sent through the walls of the city to the place in her heart were she could run free. Personalizing each strand with movement and grace. Bringing individual style with a punch of funk is the game. A free spirit of sorts, the kinda stylist that you'll not only want to style your wedding but also be a guest.

Taking pride in starting each client with a clean palette, she runs with the possibility of bringing you out of your shell to a comfortable place with your locks.

Photo shoots, movies, music videos, fashion shows, are part of her experience that keep allowing her to flourish as your stylist.
