I started my career in the beauty industry in 1993. I started working in an established salon in Norwich, Ct. I enjoyed 11 years of working and learning and building a clientele. During that time I was newly married and became a home owner. Then came two amazing children!! Those years seem like another lifetime. With amazing support from my husband and family I knew it was time! In May 0f 2005 I opened my salon in Taftville, Ct. Started with purchasing a property and transforming it into a 6 chair salon which grew to a 9 chair salon very fast. I needed to learn how to become a leader and bring in people/ teammates to help me grow and become a successful salon. I have enjoyed working with so many talented and beautiful people over the 18 years. I have enjoyed learning my craft and enjoy my years. I enjoy seeing multiple people thru out the day and creating new looks from color to cuts to creating trust with my clients so we can explore new ideas or just maintaining styles they are happy with. In 2023 I sold my salon to one of my teammates and I remain in the salon to support and grow with the new ideas ahead. I continue to enjoy the industry and hope to continue for years to come.

It has been a beautiful 33 years in the hair industry where I have seen many different trends come and go. I enjoy color and foils to make anyone look the best they can and to compliment a great color should always be a haircut. Some of my favorite products include Super Skinny Serum, Super sculpt and Extra Body Sculpting Foam. Another way that I love to express my creativity is through crafts you can see some of my creations throughout the salon.

Being in the beauty industry for over 30 years, I have enjoyed creating custom looks with color and texturized haircuts that fit my guests personality. I have never shied away from some fun color combinations for myself starting about 20 years ago for breast cancer awareness month. Outside of the salon you can find me taking care of my animal family of dogs and cats, training for road races or working in my yard.
