The Shear Lounge, Carlsbad

My passion for hair and makeup started when I was young. I used to sneak in my mother’s bathroom and use my moms makeup to do my own. Friends and family started to notice. They would ask me to show them how to do theirs, which of course was excited to do. I graduated from Oceanside College of Beauty in 2008 and went straight into the world of beauty. I worked for several years at a salon that really promoted consistent education as well as the opportunity to work with some of the top hair and makeup lines. Redken, Kenra, Davines and Eufora are a few color and product lines. Mac, Estée Lauder, Smashbox, Urban Decay and Tarte. Man, the list goes on! I freelanced alongside working in the salon for many years doing special events for weddings, proms and onset for photo shoots. It’s really rewarding to give people the look the want to achieve for their special day. I feel I am very personable and easy to connect with. It is a trait that has helped me build my amazing clientele and preform my job well. I am known for my blonding techniques, coloring, extensions and makeup. Bringing someone’s beauty inside and out is such a rad experience I get to call a career. I hope to continue to make people feel good about themselves for many years.
