What is your hair-as-art philosophy?
I really like hair as a canvas because it’s a collaboration between the client and me. So it’s my art. I get to have fun with each individual and make someone feel better about themself. When I see clients get excited about their hair, it makes my art feel even more special.
All your hairstyles are so bright and colorful!
I’m affected by color—it makes everything happier and more vibrant. I think different colors change your mood, whether you notice it or not. As a child, I always wanted to be part of a Rainbow Brite, Jem and the Holograms, Care Bears kind of world—this is my step toward making the world have more of that.
