I love making my guests feel beautiful by creating looks catered to their wants and needs while also teaching them how to recreate their finished look at home!

It takes a lot of heart to be a hairstylist, and that’s something I bring into every appointment. I truly care about my guests and take the time to listen so I can fully understand their goals and create the best plan to achieve their desired look. My intention is always to make each guest feel seen, cared for, and confident—while maintaining an upbeat, welcoming energy that makes every visit feel special.

I was born and raised in Island Lake and went to school in McHenry, so this area has always been home to me. Outside of the salon, I love spending time with my friends and family—whether that’s camping, boating, going into the city, or catching a Cubs game. I naturally bring a light, warm sense of humor into my work, helping guests feel relaxed while still keeping the experience professional and informative. The lessons and challenges I’ve faced in my life have shaped who I am today—they’ve driven me to keep growing, stay resilient, and show up as the best version of myself for every guest who sits in my chair.
