Hi, I’m the proud owner of Illuminate Beauty Studio!  Since I was little, I dreamed of being a hairstylist or a teacher (it was even on my 5th-grade “when I grow up” paper). Now I get to live both dreams .With 20 years behind the chair and over 11 years as an educator, I’ve built a career my 10 year old self would be so proud of.

 

I’m an Elite Artist with Invisible Bead Extensions®. While I’ve always loved transforming hair with extensions and dimensional color, these days what lights me up most is leading my team and creating a salon environment that feels both luxurious and cozy, a place where guests feel at home and my stylists feel empowered to thrive.

​

Behind the chair, I still love the creativity of formulating color and watching a transformation come to life, but what truly fills me is seeing confidence grow! whether in the guests we serve or in the stylists I get to mentor.

​

When I’m not at the salon, I’m traveling with my hunky barber hubby, making memories with my two little boys, or diving into continuing education (I’ll forever be a student of this craft and business). Illuminate has grown from my passion for hair into my passion for people  and that’s the heart of everything we do here.
