With a distinguished career spanning 14 years in the hair industry, my primary emphasis has always been on education. I've diligently pursued knowledge by attending numerous professional courses, enhancing my expertise in cutting, color and styling. For the past nine years, my commitment to education has extended to teaching all hair extensions methods, a field I'm deeply passionate about.

This dedication to training and my vision to empower hairstylists led me to establish and manage two thriving salons. The core of my professional satisfaction lies in forging meaningful connections with clients, helping them realize their unique hair aspirations.

While I've had the privilege of contributing my skills to prestigious events like New York Fashion Week and various photo shoots, my true fulfillment comes from nurturing the growth and potential of everyday hairstylists. Witnessing their progress and success is the most gratifying aspect of my journey.
