Education
My mantra is
It’s all about the base.
The foundation of your hairstyle is the most important part. No amount of iron work, teasing, or hair spray at the end will make up for a lack of a strong foundation. From my experience as a Drybar Manager, having the opportunity to do 30+ blowouts a week for months on end & training new stylists, I have seen first hand how a beautiful, comprehensive, long lasting style starts from prepping the hair. Once you master the perfect prep & blow dry techniques, you’ll see how the rest of your styling becomes THAT MUCH EASIER. Beautiful hair styles begin with educating our clients on how to prep before their event (the cut, the color, the wash, the extensions) & having excellent product knowledge (knowing exactly what each hair type needs) as well as a strong blowout technique.
Blowouts & Styling
The foundation of any good & long lasting hairstyle is a great blowout. From the wash to blow-dry to iron work, there’s so much more that goes into a blowout than many stylists realize. In my time as a blowout bar manager, I spent months on end taking 30+ clients per week doing blowout after blowout on any & all hair types you could imagine. In terms of what clients want - I’ve heard it all.
I’ve trained stylists from multiple hair backgrounds in the blowout technique I use today.
Now, as an agency represented bridal & travel hair stylist, I specialize in styling for clients from Hawaii to California, NYC, The Hamptons, Montauk and beyond.
In my customized hands-on & interactive blowout & styling sessions, I show you how to give your clients fresh, stylized, effortless blowouts that will last them as long as possible. I also show you how to achieve your looks in a timely fashion to help you work faster without compromising quality.
Because what makes a great hair style?
It’s not the tools, it’s the stylist.
Creating content is a skill in itself.
Trust me when I say - I totally understand how overwhelming creating social media & website content can be. As someone who started studying graphic design & photography in middle school, it’s taken me YEARS to develop my skillset & to curate my design aesthetic. I love photography & graphic design, but I also want it to be as fast & easy as possible - no expensive fancy equipment, no fuss. Throughout my years working in the beauty industry, I have also taught graphic design & photography, fine tuning my methods to make them quick & efficient while on set or at an event.
Beauty Photography
The photos you take of your makeup and hair are just as important as the quality of your service itself. Your photos make up your portfolio - your social media, website & advertisements. Quite honestly, in this day, without a killer portfolio of your work, it’s very difficult to elevate yourself to new levels.
I have spent the last 15 years curating my aesthetic & skillset as a beauty industry professional, licensed educator, seasoned graphic designer & multi-faceted photographer. I have taught design & photo theory, designed published print layout design work & worked in the high paced environment of sports photography. My “eye” is my most valuable asset - being able to envision what I want a photo to look like & bring it to life under any circumstances - strict time restraints, needing to get the video or photo in one shot, working in busy & crowded spaces.
Let’s be real - who has the time to spend hours a day editing photos & videos? Most days I only have a few minutes to spare to get a post online. Sometimes you take a few photos of a client & realize later on when it’s too late to re-take the photo that you don’t really like any of them. My specialty is making it work. Learning how to take what I have & make it into something I can proudly share online & that’s coming from a detail-oriented perfectionist!
In my customized hands-on & interactive beauty photography sessions, I take everything I’ve learned over the last decade & a half & make it easy & accessible for the everyday beauty professional to achieve.
No fancy cameras, lighting or other equipment required. No paid photo editing apps or services needed. Just you, your smartphone, natural lighting & your natural environment.
