When you’re already having a sunny, cosmos-on-your-side kind of week, a fresh style and catch up makes it brighter. And when you’re feeling “blah” or overwhelmed, I’m here to lift you up with a scalp massage and a listening ear.
I’ll never forget my first salon experience. I met a cool hair stylist on the street when I was teenager, and his enthusiasm brought me to his chair. The salon was hip and the vibe was exciting. He made me feel special and accepted, and I felt so confident walking out of there. For being a teenager, that says something…
I take care of what matters — classic Pisces — and that includes being the friend cheering you on to leap into your next unknown… and reminding you to take care of yourself along the way.
I love our Asheville creative community (I’m married to a glass artist!), and I paint watercolor for fun when I find the time. I live for turning strangers into friends, seeing live music, and hanging out with my sweet husband and sassy toddler.

WHAT'S INSPIRING ME LATELY
You’re juggling a lot — work, family, showing up for everyone else — and it’s really helpful to have a scheduled time you know you’ll get to pause and slow down.
Whether you want a signature cut or color or you love mixing it up, you want your hair to look great without a complicated routine.
You need the kind of low-maintenance haircut that grows out gracefully, so that you can go months between appointments without having to always wear it up or hide it under hats.
Loud, rushed, multi-seat salons give you bad feelings. A one-on-one, mellow, grounding experience sounds ideal.
You care about what goes in your products and want someone who’s done the homework for you.
You have a sensitive scalp, or you’ve got hair loss or thinning going on and you’re not sure where to turn for kind and thoughtful support.
You love art, music, beauty, and meaning. You’re into experiences that feel thoughtfully curated, not corporate.
Book yourself an appointment so I can get to know you, too!
