THE POWER OF A HAIRCUT

A haircut is never just about the ends, it’s the soft ritual of slowing down, letting go, and stepping into a version of you that feels renewed.

SPLIT ENDS ARE NOT THE VIBE

I’m a woman who has always been drawn to art, design, and the simple beauty of creativity. Whether through interiors, fashion, or photography, I love capturing and curating moments that make life feel intentional and inspiring. Slow living has become my way of weaving meaning into the everyday—softening the pace and allowing room for joy.

On my days off, you’ll usually find me by the coast in Laguna, soaking in the sun and the rhythm of the ocean. In my thirties, I’ve grown to embrace the changes that come with each season of life, leaning into self-care rituals that keep me feeling radiant, youthful, and at peace.

It’s such a joy to bring this love of beauty and intention into my work, and to be part of women’s journeys as they embrace themselves and feel truly beautiful.

BEFORE YOUR VISIT

Frequently Asked Questions

Here you will find everything you need to know before your next appointment. My studio is an intimate, thoughtfully curated space where each service is approached with care and intention. I’ve answered the most common questions to help you feel prepared, relaxed, and confident before arriving. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, feel free to ask in your email.

I’m always happy to help.

To keep your hair looking and feeling its best, I recommend booking your appointments every 6 to 8 weeks. Split ends can sneak in quickly — and when they do, they can weigh us down not just physically, but emotionally too.
Maintaining a consistent hair care routine with regular trims helps preserve the shape, health, and energy of your hair. It’s a simple yet powerful way to continue feeling confident, refreshed, and completely in love with your look.
No need to wash your hair before your appointment, I'll be shampooing and pampering your hair during your visit. Just come as you are and relax.
To help you feel fully relaxed and unhurried, here’s a general guide for how much time to set aside for your service:
- Haircut – approximately 1 hour
- Base Color – about 2.5 hours
- Partial Highlights – around 3 hours
- Balayage – 4 hours or more, depending on your hair and desired result
I recommend allowing a little extra time in your day so you can fully enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. This is your time to unwind, reset, and feel taken care of.
Yes, I’m currently welcoming new clients who value self-care and enjoy the beauty of a well-paced, intentional life. I love working with women who appreciate structure, love their calendar, and make space for routines that support their well-being. My studio is by appointment only — a quiet space to step away from the chaos, feel cared for, and take time just for you.
For your convenience, I accept cash, Venmo, and Zelle as forms of payment. Please feel free to choose the method that works best for you. If you have any questions, I’m happy to help.
I’ve been in the salon industry since I was 19, starting as a receptionist and quickly falling in love with the world of beauty and the way hair helps women feel radiant from the inside out.
In 2012, I received my cosmetology license and began working behind the chair — and I’ve never looked back. Over the years, I’ve loved helping hundreds of women fall more in love with their hair through soft, intentional styling that supports their confidence and natural beauty.
