After graduating from the Aveda Institute in 2002, I furthered my education with Spalon Montage in Chanhassen in their apprentice program. It was through this program I really learned the ins and out of all the aspects of the craft. Since then, I continue to keep up with evolving looks and trends by taking continuing education classes. Furthering my education not only keeps me from getting stuck in a rut but allows me to do what is most important. Which is having each one of you not only look beautiful when you leave, but really feel beautiful when you leave my chair!

I am so very excited to be moving my business to Carver. I grew up in a small town and can’t wait to work in that same type of small community feel. I have been working as a hairstylist for 15 years and I still really enjoy meeting new people and building great, lasting relationships with my clients. I love cutting, coloring and doing any facial waxing. When I’m not at work, I’m at home with my great husband and 3 boys. I can’t wait to get started in Carver!
