Bonjour, tout le monde! I thought I should write a post letting everyone get to know a little bit about me in more detail. So, I’m originally born and raised in Austin. I primarily grew up in East Austin, but have lived all over the city.

I went to AISD until 3rd grade where, because of my address, had to transfer to Manor ISD. Part of East Austin was annexed to Manor ISD, so that is where I ultimately graduated High School. I played volleyball in middle school and through freshman year. I was in band from 4th grade until I graduated. I played clarinet until my junior year at which point I switched to baritone saxophone.

After High School I went to ACC for a while and then decided I was ready to go out of state. I was accepted to San Francisco State University for the 2008-2009 school year so I moved to San Francisco and lived there until 2010 when the recession was hitting really hard.

San Francisco is where I got my first job at a salon. I was a Front Desk Coordinator at Cinta Salon, a high-end salon downtown. It was while working at this job that I realized that I wanted to work in a salon from there on out.

After my return to Texas, I worked at a salon in South Austin and during my time their I decided the front desk was no longer enough. I wanted to be a Hair Stylist, so I enrolled in the Avenue Five Institute on Burnet Road in North Austin. This school was unique in that it offered state-required curriculum, but also offered Vidal Sassoon education. This was an incredible opportunity because everything technical about hair came from him.

After a year and a half apprenticeship, a year and a half at a small local salon, and two babies later, I started the salon suite business in 2019. The next step is my mobile salon, which I hope to get to in the next year or so.

That about wraps things up! I hope this was somewhat interesting and I hope even moreso that we get a chance to know each other in the salon.

See you soon…

Au Revoir!
