Why work at Headcases? From the very first time I walked into Headcases, it was a salon I wanted to call my home. The passion and artistry I saw from the stylists that work there was uplifting. The environment was inviting. Headcases encourages you to be creative and pushes you to evaluate yourself as an artist.

When your not doing hair you’re…? I’m a mom and a daughter. I spend most of my free time with my family. Moving from Houston, Texas to Erie was a humbling experience as an adult. All I have here is my family. Family is a number one priority in my life. I am who I am because of them.

How do you sum up curly hair? Curly hair is a dazzling monstrosity on top of your head. Each curl its own pattern, a unique fingerprint growing from your head!! Curls are challenging yet extraordinary. SOOOO in love with my curls.

What are hair must-haves for your clients? PROFESSIONAL HAIR CARE PRODUCTS! It is so important to have great products especially when you have lightened or colored your hair. The only way we as stylists can guarantee the same results at home is using the same hair care regimen. Invest in your hair. It’s the crown you can never take off!

You’ve got some pretty sweet big hair there! What’s your secret? A LOT of moisture. I love using the treatment oils that Paul Mitchell has because they are so hydrating. I do treatments on my own hair that will hydrate an strengthen my hair quarterly. I use heat protectant while using styling tools. I try to use the least amount of heat as possible. But, I always use professional styling products.

What do you love about being a hairstylist? I love the art, I always used to say, I wasn’t very creative. I’m definitely no Picasso, but the way I see hair is a canvas. A canvas to create unprecedented art. There are no limits to the art you can create on someone’s head. You can create illusions with hair that are mind-blowing. Love of beauty is taste…..The creation of beauty is ART!
