About
I never wanted to be an entrepreneur. However, when I had to fill out any paperwork at the doctor’s office or fill out something about my profession, I would notice the little self-employment box. I wanted to know who checked that and what did that mean.
While studying theatre in college, I found my love for hair and makeup backstage as I prepared for my performances in whatever production I was in. I knew that I could make a living as a hair stylist and makeup artist while pursuing my dreams as an actress. I wouldn’t have to be a starving artist.
While working in the salon, I learned that I could perform on stage in another way. I could be an educator and artist for hair care brands. I would guide other hair stylists to advanced techniques in cuts and color and travel the country performing as a platform artist. All the while, the writer in me wanted to explore novels and plays and stories. My love of theatre and film began to seep into my life as a stylist.
