MASTER STYLIST 

In my near-20 years’ experience, I’ve collaborated with esteemed fashion brands including Betsey Johnson, Vera Wang and J Crew. My styling has been featured in Elle Italia and Austin Monthly, and I’ve worked New York’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on several occasions. I’m an Austin-area Gold.key educator for Kevin Murphy, training student stylists in the brand’s latest products and techniques.

Behind my chair, I am dedicated to forging a creative, collaborative rapport with my clients, whose satisfaction remains my priority. I thrive on the current and cutting-edge, seeking fresh inspiration every day. When clients leave my chair, I want them feeling totally glamorous.

At Shade Tree Hair Salon (conveniently located West of Downtown Austin), I specialize in Great Lengths and Hotheads Extensions, as well as modern cuts and radiant color. Working alongside the talented team of stylists there inspires me to always be reaching toward the next level, motivating me to sharpen and share my skills for years to come.
