I was born to be a hairdresser, literally. I went through beauty school once while my mother was pregnant with me and the second time after college. I grew up in my grandmother' s "beauty parlor" in Chandler, Oklahoma on Route 66. I was trained as a barber at the Academy of Hair Design and while in school was recruited to teach hair color for Framesi USA. Assisting for the two premiere stylists in Oklahoma City prepared me for my next move to Phoenix where I worked at Cheveux Salon. I moved to Marin in 1991 and opened my first salon in San Rafael, Marin County, 3rd Generation, in 1993 and Peace, Love & Grilled Cheeses Hair Salon in 2000. I now have a Private Studio at 510 Red Hill Avenue in San Anselmo, California. I reckon I love what I do since I've been making people beautiful for over 30 years.
