At just five years old, I started cutting my grandmother’s hair. What began as a simple childhood memory quickly became the foundation of a lifelong career. I spent much of my childhood doing her hair, and she ultimately became the inspiration behind my decision to become a licensed hairstylist.

After earning my license, one of the most meaningful moments of my career was being able to continue caring for my grandmother’s hair while she was living in assisted care — this time with professional training and experience behind me.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of color lines and techniques, including CHI, Paul Mitchell, Redken, Matrix, and many others. Learning and adapting has always come naturally to me, allowing me to grow quickly within the industry and eventually mentor and train new stylists as well.

Over the past 16 years, I’ve worked in a variety of environments including military barbershops, traditional barbershops, full-service salons, and family salons. These experiences have allowed me to work with clients from all walks of life and build meaningful connections through my craft.

Being behind the chair has always been more than a profession to me — it’s where I feel most confident, creative, and fulfilled. I take pride in my work, my attention to detail, and my commitment to always using the best tools and techniques possible.

For me, hairstyling has never simply been about appearance. Hair is confidence, self-expression, identity, and connection.

Hair is life.]]></description><link>https://www.lushlabgroup.com/blog</link><generator>RSS for Node</generator><lastBuildDate>Sun, 19 Jul 2026 00:23:52 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link href="https://www.lushlabgroup.com/blog-feed.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/><item><title><![CDATA[How to Repair Clip-In Hair Extensions: Easy DIY Fixes That Actually Work (2026 Guide)]]></title><description><![CDATA[Don't throw away your favorite clip-in extensions!
