How long have you been with hair a go-go?  I came up with the name while I was attending a class in L.A. passing by the Whisky a go-go. I wanted a name for a website to use for freelance work in film. Labor Day weekend 2003 I was invited to choose a different path and hair a go-go, the salon, was born. 
Industry years of experience I started doing hair in 1994 and wow have things changed. My first 10 years were spent on advanced haircutting training and deep diving into hair color theory. I was doing photoshoots years ago when you had to build relationships with editors and submit slides. My work has been in magazines all over the world. During this time my interest in Trichology started however, the internet hadn’t really begun as we know it yet and it was very hard to find information. It was always on my radar but, my focus was training my staff and building hair a go-go into the many incarnations that it has been through. Now, my focus is on Trichology-helping bridge the needs between dermatologists and hair dressers. 
Who have my biggest inspirations?  Bobby Fairbanks, Traci Sakosits, Dr. Donovan, Dr. Gorana Epstein, Franz Kline to name a few
How do your peers describe you?  Hard working, direct, life-long learner, generous. 
Specialties Trichological services specializing in helping people with hair loss and scalp solutions. Assisting women through the appearance related side effects of chemotherapy and radiation. 
Fun fact about myself I studied fine art and was on a scholarship in ceramics. 
Favorite quote Failure is not an option. 
Favorite food A little bit of everything. 
Favorite thing to do in my spare time Going to amazing concerts, trying new restaurants
Hobbies Travel, design, sewing, podcasts, film, flower arranging, World Cup
What advice would I give young stylists? Always be open to continuing your education and repetition of that training. It takes years to master our craft and constant practice. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes or take direction/feedback. That’s what makes you better. Turn that opportunity into a chance to learn & grow. Volunteer your time and your craft. I have worked with Look Good, Feel Better for over 20 years and helping the women attending my workshops has been one of the most fulfilling things I've done in my career. Don't forget to give back.
