Beauty – Spokane

I have been a hairstylist for 22 years now. I started as most do, as an apprentice in Seattle, trying to understand the intricacies between a woman...and her hair. It\'s a delicate field because it eventually transcends how she feels not only in the clothes she wears but also how she feels in her own skin. No where is this more apparent than on the runway at New York Fashion Week for-which I am a three season veteran. You can put any style on a girl, but it takes more of an eye to put a cut on a woman...it makes or breaks her as she walks down the street...her life runway. I enjoy using references of all time periods, 50\'s, 60\'s, 70\'s, interpreting them for today\'s fashion scene. Fashion has a repeat and I find myself intrigued by that. I am known for making short films of my work, dabbling in photography and serving as a catalyst to my craft to inspire and encourage for the betterment of the industry as a whole. When I am behind the chair...I am home. I have been published in Spokane/Coeur D Alene Living, the Inlander, The Hair Nerds www.thehairnerds.com, Cross Check TV www.crosscheck.tv, Hair Brained.me www.hairbrained.me and Spokane/Coeur D Alene Woman\'s Magazine for my work. I am very excited to be a part of RAW, a network of artists, who like myself, do not have an \"off\" switch when it comes to our passions and our craft.
