With over four Emmy wins and seven nominations, I've honed my craft on film and television sets. My specialties include custom lace wigs, classic period styling, reenacting, and character work.
As a hairstylist, I'm driven by creativity and innovation. Each design I create is a unique expression of my dedication to bringing characters to life with authentic hairstyles.
Drawing inspiration from classic films, historical photos, fashion, and literature, I infuse my work with a fresh and distinctive touch.
My journey has now evolved into an equally fulfilling role as an educator. I'm excited to share my industry-specialty skills with aspiring hairstylists worldwide through detailed online courses. From custom lace wigs to classic period styling, my courses provide a comprehensive foundation for success in film and television hairstyling.
As a mentor, I take immense pride in empowering my students to thrive in their careers. Whether you're just starting or seeking to elevate your skills, I'm here to guide you on your journey to success.
Join me on this creative adventure, and let's unlock the secrets of Hollywood hair together. Embark on this transformative experience and make your dreams a reality.
After years of dreaming, I decided to go all in and took the giant leap of leaving my small town and headed straight to Hollywood. I knew if I wanted to make it big, I had to be trained by the best. For me, that meant attending the prestigious Toni & Guy Academy in Dallas, TX, and later pursuing further education at Makeup Designory in Burbank, CA. Against all odds and despite some discouragement, I embraced the challenge wholeheartedly. >

I began networking during my time at makeup school and soon started working on smaller features right after graduation. Through relentless determination and building connections within the industry, I found myself working consistently on various productions.
Fast forward to October 2008, a pivotal moment in my career when I earned my union credits and became a proud member of Local 706 Makeup Artist and Hair Stylists Guild. Being part of this esteemed guild allowed me to rub shoulders with incredibly talented artists and learn from some of the best in the business.> To read the full story click here
My journey eventually led me to my very first full-time position as a Key on the feature film called "Real Steel." Balancing trailer duties and running background on set was challenging, but it made me stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working on noteworthy projects such as "Parenthood," "American Horror Story," "Blunt Talk," "American Crime Story," "The Politician," and "The Prom." My dedication to excellence has earned me seven Emmy nominations and four wins. Additionally, I've received four MUAHS nominations and one win.
One of my key differentiators lies in the way I analyze hair. The foundational skills I gained from Toni & Guy taught me the importance of taking my time, studying each individual's unique characteristics, and truly understanding their needs. This knowledge has been invaluable in my ability to manipulate and sculpt hair into place, ensuring it stands up flawlessly on set.
