From an early age, the transformative power of hair and makeup captured my heart, especially while growing up around performers in New York City.

With over 25 years of experience in the beauty industry as a hair stylist and makeup artist, my passion lies at the confluence of art, personal expression, and the ability to enhance natural beauty.

I have been featured on such platforms as Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, Martha Stewart Weddings and more as well as television, film, video, and have worked with celebrity clients.

I pride myself on attentively, understanding my client's visions and bringing them to life, whether it be in the salon or for styled shoots or weddings.

To me hair and makeup are not merely about appearance, they are mediums through which individuals narrate their personal stories to the world. My approach? Naturally amplified beauty.

My specialty extends from haircuts and coloring to highlights and event-specific hair and makeup.

I'm based in Charlottesville when I'm not crafting behind the chair or doing hair and or makeup for some fabulous job.

I love to spend time with my teenage daughter and our two cats.
