What is your hair philosophy? I think that everything should be beautiful and interesting. I believe that everyone should come in touch with their own personal style, relying on themselves more than following trends. I love classic beauty and style, my icons are Jackie Kennedy and Diana Vreeland. I believe that everyone should practice good health as much as possible, including all of the beauty products they choose. I believe in Intelligent Nutrients, which is healthy, pure, and high performing.

What is your specialty or career highlights? I have been doing hair for 23 years and painting the town blond is my specialty. I love making women feel beautiful. I love that I can contribute to a person’s confidence by helping them to create their best look, and best version of themselves. I try to bring fashion into my work as much as possible, educating my clients and helping to guide them. I love hair-color, editorial work, fashion shows, hair-cutting, styling, updos, make-up, events and weddings.

What is your favorite city and why? New York City is my favorite city and “second home”. I spend time in the City each month, becoming inspired, and plugging into the best energy in the world. New York, besides being the greatest city in the world, is the epicenter of America. In fashion, culture, music, theater, and the arts, what more could one ask for! One minute in Bergdorf Goodman, is enough to carry me through the rest of my life! Pure bliss!

What is your personal slogan, motto, or words to live by? “From heaven to hell and back again, life is a funny thing. Beauty can come from the most strangest of places even the most disgusting places.” -Alexander McQueen

What is something that you think people should know about you? My favorite day in Aspen was in May 2013, when I met Devendra Banhart.
