What do you do for fun?

I love or should I say live to travel and discover new cities all over the world! I am grateful that I am able to travel to different cities worldwide to attend master classes by the best hairstylists. I love to learn and it keeps me inspired to be a better hairstylist for my clients! Last but not least, I love good food so your best bet is finding me at one of my favorite eating spots. If I’m not there, I’m at home cuddling with my senior furry child Zippy or getting my sweat on at the gym.

I love Bumble and Bumble Dry Spun! It gives you texture and a lot of SASS! I also love Glow Bond-Building Styler for Shine, Softness, Repair,and Heat Protection. If you love volume as much as I do, I recommend a combo of Go Big Treatment and Thickening Great Body Blow Dry Creme!
