Beauty – Portland

I come from a large family of 9, so salon trips were limited. I started playing around with my own hair when I was 12.. As an artistic family, doing our own hair was actually encouraged by my Dad who had lots of cool color ideas. I remember he told me to braid my hair then color it red so when I put it down it would be checkered... Maybe thats what first inspired me. I always had a passion for hair, but went to LA to try fashion illistration first. After realizing that I really enjoyed drawing the hair on my models more than clothing, I decided to enroll at Aveda, Best choice of my life. I now work at New Vintage Beauty Lounge. I love this salon so much. It is my second home and I look forward to work everyday. Even if I got kind of a late start in the hair world- it is everything to me. It\'s the first thing I see when I look at anyone.. I dream about it. I am constantly thinking about what I can do to be better and create the best hair for my clients.. I don\'t think I will ever be \"tired\" of hair because it\'s not a job to me.. it\'s my art!
