Welcome! I'm a licensed Cosmetologist based in Clive, Iowa, proudly serving the Des Moines Metro Area.

​

With over 20 years of experience in the beauty industry,

I specialize in creating dimensional, low-maintenance color, curly haircuts, and  haircuts that are tailored to suit your unique style.

​

I am a Cadō - Certified Stylist, and have received official in person training on the Cadō Method, a structured approach to cutting, shaping, and styling curly hair. A Cadō Curly Cut combines technique and artistry to create customized results for every curl type. 

​

My passion for beauty began early, when I gave my first “haircut” to a Barbie. I gave her an A-line bob and even experimented with markers and paint to color her hair .

That playful, hands-on curiosity has stayed with me throughout my career, driving me to continually learn, refine my craft, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.

​​​

Curiosity drives my work.

I’m always seeking to understand the "how" and "why", which is why I’m constantly refining my skills and staying ahead of trends.​

 

When I’m not in the salon, you can find me lifting in the gym, in a dance class, painting, or solo traveling.

I'm currently learning  Italian and have a tutor (for a  challenge). 

I’m an avid podcast listener, love reading, learning, and winding down with my two cats, Ella and Evelyn (pictured below). Fun Fact: Evelyn is a 'talking cat'. She uses the Fluent Pet buttons to communicate. She is currently up to 19!  

 

Haircuts for me are a form of sculptural art, and I have a special affinity for curly hair—if you have it, we’re a perfect match!

​

I’m deeply grateful for the chance to connect with amazing people through this craft, and I can’t wait to help you achieve your beauty goals!
