WHY HAIRSTYLING?

 For me, hairstyling is more than just a career — it’s about connection, confidence and to deliver services that make people feel seen, loved and empowered. My dream is to be more than just a hairstylist; I want to be a source of light and encouragement in my clients lives.

YOUR FAVOURITE THING TO DO AS A STYLIST?

 My favourite thing to do as a stylist is styling, especially big, voluminous blowouts and curls! I would love to specialize in wedding hair and do bridal styling more consistently one day. Since I’m early in my career, I also really enjoy exploring all aspects of hairstyling, including cuts and colour, and continuing to learn and grow my skills in every area. 

WHAT MADE YOU THE STYLIST YOU ARE TODAY?

 I took high school cosmetology from grades 9-12, it was a class I always enjoyed and looked forward to! When I explored a Co-op position here at Grotto it helped to give me an experience of what the salon environment was like. Later on, I decided that hairstyling was the career I felt driven too. Now that I’m in hair school, my experience in high school Cosmo and at Grotto has helped me to be successful while working towards being a hairdresser!
