Our Stylists

Everything you need to know about me!

After 20 years as a stylist, with the last seven being a salon owner, I have soaked up every bit of information I could get my hands on; staying on top of education and the latest trends. I take great pride in being an owner, and I will continue to be the best salon owner I can for my team as well as our clients!

Two years ago, my life behind the chair quickly shifted into a direction that further advanced my career when I received my certification in a handtied extension method called Invisible Bead Extensions (IBE). I found a new exciting focus and I wanted to dive in headfirst, learn everything I could within this company, perfecting this method and seeing how far I could go. I now have one of four master certifications with IBE and I am solely handtied extensions stylist. My goal in the next few years is to receive my master certifications in the remaining three areas of Invisible Bead Extensions and continue to grow Studio L Salon!
