My passion and talent for styling hair runs in my family. My grandmother was the first deaf woman to receive a license at Apex Academy in the 80's. As little girls, my baby sister Nicole and I used to do hair for our friends and family. Nicole made the first step to Jon Lewis Beauty School, and two months later, I joined her. I received my cosmetology license in 1999 from hair design. I knew styling was my dream career. After entering the industry, I experienced all the aspects of this career including the ups and down from salon to salon. As hard and discouraging as the industry could be, I didn’t let anything stop me. Through my travels, I met people who inspired me and exposed me to more of the beauty industry. I started doing photo shoots and have been featured in Black Passion, Hype Hair and Style Q. I’ve come a long way from childhood days using my father as a guinea pig (God rest his soul). As a freelance artist, I want to work with creative professionals and open my own business. My goal is to grace movies and magazines, touching as many people as I can with my winning personality and creative skills which include the following: * Natural Hairstyling (braids, locks and twists) * Weaves (sewn extensions, partial, net, closer and wig caps) * Relaxers * Cuts (short, mid-length, long, layers, bobs and razor cuts) * Color (permanent, semi-permanent and rinses) * Sets (rollers and straw rods) * Up Dos (pony tails and wedding styles) I have been blessed with a supportive family that has stood strong and carried me through everything. I am grateful to have worked with women of many colors and textures. My customers are treated with respect and care like sisters, and I do quality work to bring out the beauty in everyone I touch. I intend to take my career further and expand on everything I’ve worked so hard for up to this day. Today, I'm an independent beauty artist at Salon 72 in Brooklyn, NY.
