More Than a Hair Appointment—It’s a Ritual of Self-Love

Newport Beach Hairstylist for Women Who Love Subtle, Beautiful Change

Designing a look to enhance your natural beauty by creating a haircut and color that feels effortless, timeless, and uniquely you. Every woman’s features, lifestyle, and hair texture are different, which is why I take a personalized approach. Whether it’s a soft layered haircut that frames your face or a subtle hair color that adds dimension and glow, the goal is always to highlight what you already have—not change who you are.

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.

It’s a breath of fresh air, a spark of feminine energy, a reminder that beauty lives in the little ways you care for yourself. Because when your hair feels soft, effortless, and alive, so do you. And in that moment, a haircut becomes more than maintenance, it becomes part of your story, your identity, your glow.

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.

A moment to discuss all the things:

  • 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.

  • One of the best ways to support healthy hair growth is by getting regular haircuts. It may seem counterintuitive, but trimming split ends consistently keeps your hair strong, prevents breakage, and allows it to grow longer and more beautifully over time.

    Healthy ends = longer hair that thrives. Think of it as part of your self-care routine—nurturing your hair so it can grow with strength, softness, and ease.

  • 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.

TRENDING HAIRSTYLES FOR 2025:
