I have been behind the chair for 25 years and still love the magic of a great hair appointment!

I specialize in curly hair (2a-3c), gray hair care, color blending, and grow out support, as well as cuts that embrace your natural texture, including low maintenance shags. I also work with aging & thinning hair, helping guests find soft, wearable shapes and products that support healthy growth & confidence over time.

I am known for thoughtful color, gentle transformations, and styles that feel like you. The better I get to know you and your hair, the better I can support your hair goals, lifestyle, and expression of self.

Creating an inclusive, affirming experience matters deeply to me. I have spent years learning how to show up as a safe, culturally aware, and validating stylist for queer, trans, neurodivergent, and BIPOC guests. From the language I use, to the way I hold space, I am committed to making sure you feel seen, respected & celebrated.

My favorite part of my work behind the chair is building long-term relationships with my guests. I am always learning and I love finding that sweet spot between timeless technique and personal style. Whether you’re embracing your curls, blending grays or you’re just ready for something new, I am here for it!

Outside the salon, I love traveling with my wife, crocheting, hiking & wandering through art fairs. I am a proud mom of three (with one still at home). I love living in Minneapolis and taking advantage of all the amazing things the city has to offer.
