In 2006, I started working at an Aveda salon as a front desk coordinator. I had no idea at the time that the job was just the beginning of a life long career in the salon industry! In 2009 I began my journey as a hairstylist, and a few years later opened Salon Brio. I strive to provide a place for my clients to come to feel relaxed, be pampered, become rejuvenated, and leave feeling beautiful.
What Inspires Me:
Wedding styles. There’s no better compliment than when you have a bride (or any client!) look in the mirror and cry because they love their hair so much. To be a part of one of the most important days of somebody’s life, and to know that the hair you styled for them will be in photos that eventually will be passed down from generation to generation, is really awesome!
Products I love:
Aquage, Morrocan Oil, and Amika

In 1996, I graduated from A Cut Above Beauty College and began my career in the salon industry. I’ve become an award winning master stylist and color designer, and previously spent several years working as an artistic director for Regis Corp. I love my job because I am an artist and I love to make people feel great. I use hair as another artistic medium using color and shapes to create fluid and beautiful hairstyles. When someone feels comfortable and happy with their hair – I know I’ve done my job!
What Inspires Me:
Color! Whether it’s bright and bold or soft and subtle tones. I’m also inspired by hairstyles that are fashionable yet easy for clients to reproduce for themselves at home.
Products I love:
Aquage, Biomega, Malibu C, and It’s a 10

I am a licensed hairstylist and nail technician. I have been in this industry since 2010 and can honestly say I love my job – getting the opportunity to make every person that sits in my chair feel great about themselves is what I love most! I specialize in color, highlights, ombre, balayage, vibrant fashion colors, keratin smoothing treatments, cuts and nails.
My Story
My love for the art of hair started for me at a very young age. After many failed professions and staying home with my 3 young boys for 5 1/2 years, I finally decided to follow my dream and start beauty school. I attended Regency Beauty Institute and graduated with top honors and highest clientele rate in my class. After graduating I took many continuing education classes and soon became a certified nail technician specializing in manicures, pedicures, acrylic nails, and gel manicures.
My Passions
I LOVE doing hair for weddings and formal events. Just to be able to make someone feel like a princess for one day is the most glorifying feeling! I also love to do Keratin Smoothing Treatments, which is similar to the Brazilian Blowout, but minus all the chemicals and potential hazards! It really can change a person's life who has unruly, frizzy, or curly hair.
I am so fortunate to be part of such an exciting and fast paced industry and can't wait to see what is to come in the future and to learn more and more!

After graduating with my degree in Therapeutic and Clinical Massage in 2011, I have spent my time honing the necessary skills to better suit the needs of my clients. Ensuring that each client receives stress and pain relief has always been a top priority of mine. From a sports and clinical aspect, to a more relaxing and therapeutic setting, each massage is customized to promote wellness and mental clarity.
