What drew you to this profession?
After a decade of climbing the corporate ladder in retail and cosmetics sales and development, I finally realized that one huge piece of the puzzle was missing: quality of life. The long hours, minimal vacations and short lived days off were second to none. I had finally had enough of working around the clock for companies that didn’t allow me the freedom to really live my life, on my terms. Becoming a Beauty Professional over 14 years ago has been one of the best career decisions I’ve ever made. Not only because I can work my dream schedule and have the space to be super creative and artistic—but I have the ability to transform the way people look and feel about themselves, inside and out.

How does your work differ from others in your profession?
Having this strong corporate training in my toolbox has allowed me a huge advantage in how I manage my business and exceed all of my clients’ expectations. I wake up every day with the hope that Love+Light will be a haven for you to relax, unwind and feel rest assured that you will be listened to and understood. A place where you can trust in consistency, reliability and stellar customer service above all else.

What should someone expect from working with you?
I believe that beauty should be good for you and good for our planet, too. That’s why it all starts with using the most luxurious, ethical and sustainable beauty products in the world. During your appointment, we will work together to create a custom beauty look made just for you, every time you visit. You’ll know all the tips and tricks before you leave, so you know just what to do and what products you’ll need to maintain your look for weeks to come.

What changes do you plan in 2021?
Love+Light is planning on becoming a Green Circle Salon by the end of 2021. Created by beauty industry leaders, their award-winning program empowers salons to recover up to 95 percent of their beauty waste. That includes previously unrecoverable materials and hard-to-recycle items like hair clippings, foils, excess hair color, aerosol cans and color tubes. Green Circle has been certified by B Corp and the Carbon Trust to acknowledge that they meet the highest standards of environmental and social responsibility, and meet requirements for Zero Waste to Landfill.

What is most important for Natural Awakenings’ readers to know?
My strong attention to detail, my behind-the-chair experience and my one-of-a-kind consultation approach all make your visits with me unlike any other. My favorite services to do are color correction, hair painting (balayage and babylights) and natural, “lived-in” color. Here at Love+Light, you will always receive exclusive services that guarantee all you need to stay refreshed, revived and living your best life.
