I became a colorist because: I was 10 years old when my mother colored my hair for the first time with at-home box bleach and a highlighting cap. It was an empowering experience for me; she got me hooked on haircolor’s transformative ability. My grandmother was a hairdresser for over 40 years and owned multiple salons; the relationships she built with her clients, their families, her staff, and her community were awe-inspiring. I became a hairdresser to continue her legacy.
My goals: Continuing to grow Oracle—what started as a one-chair salon has grown into four chairs in a short three years. We are education-based and I would love to start teaching/hosting classes regularly in collaboration with other artists and businesses.
I love being a colorist because: My guests trust me with their self-image. Through hair we have the power to heal the hearts and minds of the people who sit in our chair; it’s a huge responsibility.
I look up to: Sophia Hilton, Sally Brooks, Ruth Roche, Antoinette Beenders, Vivienne Mackinder, Ginger Boyle, Sharon Blaine, Tabatha Coffey, Sally Hershberger, Olive Benson, Jeanne Braa, Jen Atkin, and more! I'm a huge supporter of strong female artists in our industry. #girlpower
