My very fist job was scooping ice cream and I had a blast! Even at a young age I knew that when I could give something to a person and make them smile, I was doing something great. That is probably one of the reasons why I chose to make hair my profession.
When people find out what I do for a living they say, “You must have the coolest job ever!” And you know what? I really do! I get to be a part of so many special events in people’s lives and share that moment with them. What could be better? As one bride said to me, “You are not only an amazing artist, you also get to do something so few people can; you get to make me feel pretty and confident!”

I started in the beauty industry in the 2000’s by graduating from cosmetology school. It was there that I found my passion for cutting, creating, styling, coloring…basically all things hair related. While I was in school, I started freelancing as a stylist for weddings. I was drawn to that aspect of the industry because I enjoyed being a part of such a memorable moment in a person’s life.
After graduating I worked in several states as a hair stylist at different salons. When I landed in Richmond I felt at home and really began focusing on making a name and a clientele for myself. I am currently a full time stylist at 1213 Hair Studio and still make time for my love of weddings by being a stylist at BRIDEface Richmond. Being able to develop what was once a hobby years ago, into a career, is something very special and not something everyone gets to do. I will never take that for granted!
When I am not working, I spend my time hanging out with my pup Bella, traveling, and enjoying the restaurants and outdoor activities that Richmond has to offer with my fiancé. I hope to meet you soon and share a bit of joy with you for your big day!
