Beauty – Orange County

I was born in Mexico City and raised in Orange County for 23 years of my life. I grew up doing independent studying, aka \"homeschooling\" until high school. I had been raised around many different cultures and social groups on a regular bases. I traveled with my family to orphanages in Mexico as a child. Throughout my preteens to adulthood I was fortunate enough to travel abroad to Europe with church organizations with serving purposes. Growing up I never knew what it meant to be an artist, I thought only certain people had \"it\" in them, whatever that meant. I always considered my sister to be the artist in our family up until 3 years ago when I took up hairdressing. Hairstyling was a hobby of mine since I could braid my Barbie\'s hair. I am a very professional worker, I started as a preschool teacher in Newport Beach, CA while finishing school at Orange Coast Collage. After 3.5 years as a teacher I decided to change directions entirely. I am so happy I did too! Hair is an art form I understand and love. Not only do I get to help people feel amazing inside and out in the salon, but I get to create beautiful art pieces on top of that. As long as I can motivate others I will continue to be inspired by the world around me.
