I have always loved fashion so, after years of working here-and-there doing this-and-that, I decided to pursue hair styling as an art and profession, which led me to the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Los Angeles.

After completing my cosmetology training at Sassoon I went to work as an apprentice at the reknowned salon, Yosh For Hair/Juut salonspa in Palo Alto where I spent 5 years, achieving the title of Senior Stylist. I have recently moved to Walnut Creek and set up shop in a cute salon in the old part of downtown.

I have had the privilege of experiencing some great artists in one-day hands-on workshops, as well as fabulous 5-day trainings at my favorite academies:

• Ray Civello - Toronto

• Patrick McIvor - NYC
• Vivienne MacKinder - NYC

• David Adams - London
