I’ve spent 13 years studying hair. The last 8 of those focused almost entirely on color, because I became a little obsessed with understanding why some color looks stunning and some color just looks… off.

The answer almost always comes down to the same thing: working with the hair’s natural base instead of fighting it. The right color for your hair isn’t the one you saw on Pinterest. It’s the one that makes your natural tone, texture, and features look like the best version of themselves.


I started in Minneapolis, where I could access the kind of continuing education that pushes your craft forward. I spent eight years at one of Des Moines’ top salons, refining my technique and building a clientele of women who kept coming back — not just because they liked their hair, but because they trusted me to handle it.

When I decided to return to Ankeny and open my own suite, I made one decision deliberately: one client at a time. No double-booking. No rushing. No divided attention. Your appointment is fully yours.

isn’t just a salon.

It’s a system.
A process for getting your hair to the healthiest, most beautiful, most effortless place it’s ever been, and keeping it there.
