Stylist
Born and raised in New York City, I moved to Pinehurst in 2018 to be closer to family. Having a background in painting and the arts, being a cosmetologist has always been something I've wanted to do. After receiving a Bachelor's of Art from Queens College, I returned to school in 2020 to follow my passion of becoming a professional stylist in North Carolina. Having worked with various non for profit mental health organizations, helping people in all aspects of life is something very personal and special to me, and doing hair is no exception. I did my apprenticeship at Karma under the guidance of a very talented and professional salon team. I love changing up my look as a form of self expression and confidence, so I strive to give my clients that same experience. Whether it's a haircut, refreshing highlight, or a fun fashion color, I enjoy giving clients a change that'll make them fall back in love with themselves. I also love to perform mani/pedis.
