Faces & Places

What does your work mean to you?

It's more than hair. It's the hour someone gets to just be themselves — no performance, no pressure. I get to witness people walk out feeling like the best version of themselves, and that never gets old.

How did you find your way into this work?

I grew up watching my mom do hair out of our kitchen. It was always a place where people talked, laughed, cried, and left lighter. I wanted to create that for people too.

What's something clients are often surprised by?

How much the environment matters. The Hair Lair is intentionally calm and unhurried. People come in stressed and leave having forgotten what they were worried about.

What's the connection between your work and coaching?

Julie and I joke that we're both in the business of helping people feel like themselves again. There's real overlap — the listening, the trust, the transformation that happens in a quiet room.

What do you want people to know about The Hair Lair?

You don't have to explain yourself here. Come as you are. We'll figure out the rest together.
