Why did you become a hairstylist or colorist?
To empower people with confidence to look and feel completely themselves. Also, so I would always have a job I could travel the world with—and here I am doing both.

What do you love most about your job?
Being able to make art that moves in the world. Painting and sculpting all day, and becoming a trusted relationship in someone’s life.

Advice for hair at home?
Don’t waste time hating your hair. Let go of negative motivation and learn to work with what your hair can realistically do. Also, use a build-up removing shampoo once a month if you use styling products or at-home toning treatments.

My authentic belief is…
Treat others as you want to be treated.
