I am a hairstylist, makeup artist, educator, and the proud owner of Salon Blaq in Driggs, Idaho, located near Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My work is guided by the belief that beauty exists both inside and out, and that thoughtful artistry and genuine connection can help reflect confidence from within. As a licensed cosmetologist and barber, I am passionate about creating experiences that feel intentional, supportive, and transformative for every guest who sits in my chair.

    My journey into the beauty industry began with purpose, providing hair services at a residential treatment facility for youth who had experienced trauma. That experience shaped my lifelong commitment to creating safe, affirming environments where people feel seen, valued, and cared for. Since then, my career has expanded beyond the salon, leading me to work on professional sets, fashion shows, and national education platforms.

    I graduated from Paul Mitchell with perfect attendance and Dean’s List recognition and was selected for the prestigious Beacon program through the Professional Beauty Association. I continue to invest deeply in advanced education, specializing in texture services, smoothing systems, and extensions, with a strong focus on maintaining hair health and integrity.

    As a salon owner and educator, I am deeply committed to growth — both for my guests and my team. I believe the beauty industry has the power to change lives, and I strive to create an environment rooted in collaboration, creativity, and meaningful connection. Whether I am teaching, mentoring, or working behind the chair, my goal is always to elevate the experience and help others realize their full potential.

    Outside of the salon, I find inspiration in nature and creativity. I enjoy hiking, camping, scuba diving, and cooking — passions that reflect my belief in living a full, balanced, and intentional life.

    At the core of everything I do is a simple truth: beauty is not just something we see — it is something we feel. Through education, artistry, and connection, I aim to ensure every person I work with leaves feeling uplifted, confident, and authentically themselves.
