Co-Owner Blade & Arrow

I love working to achieve cultivated looks with fresh color and craft cut. Exploring bright bold colors to lived-in balayage. Vibrant & soft hues to define expression. My theory for cutting is centered around texture, shaping and the creation of depth. I believe education is vital to the evolution as a hairstylist and have enjoyed learning new and innovative techniques. I have a strong artistic desire to transform through hair.
