I vividly remember learning to braid with string and making friendship bracelets. Before Pinterest, I would order how-to hairstyling books from school magazines. I was always getting everyone ready for dances, proms, and sports, and I loved it.
Shortly after attending hair school, I applied to the Aveda Academy in Denver, CO, and I will never forget the day I heard back from my audition—I GOT THE JOB! I jumped into my Ford Fusion and made the trek from SD to CO. Aveda Academy was paramount to the foundation of my career and my career confidence.
I going on 9+ years of owning my own business and I wholly cherish myself, my friends, and my family for helping me get to this point. Small-town-farm-girl-turns-big-city-business-owner. (It just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?)
I am beyond passionate about my career, and love to help other young entrepreneurs with the same passion feel confident in their business. I live for customizing hair color to fit my clients' personalities and lifestyles, while also helping to educate on the "being your own boss" business model that so many cosmotologists pursue.
Where it started...
I grew up in rural Groton, South Dakota, the second daughter of a farmer and a nurse. My dad is an industry entrepreneur, and my mom is a dedicated caregiver.
I am both an entrepreneur and a caregiver, thanks to my parents' example. I always knew I wanted to be a hairstylist from a very young age. I grew up going to those "ma & pop" shops. I love being a small business focusing on your lifestyle, goals, hair, and experience. I look forward to helping you achieve more effortless good hair days.
