I came from a humble beginning in a family of eight in Estes Brook, Minnesota on a small hog farm. I had a dream in second grade to become a beautician (which it was called back then) and to one day own my own salon. I wanted to touch lives through care and compassion and leave people with a newfound confidence in their appearance.
I moved to St. Cloud in July of 1999 and started my education that following November at the Regency Beauty Academy. I then graduated in January of 2001 and started my first job that same month. I began working independently 1½ years later after getting my salon management license. I also married my husband, Adam, in July of 2001 and have continued on our journey of marriage. Marriage has taught me endurance, passion and strength and has given me the opportunity to walk through life with a friend and undying love.
Im a Hairstylist, Esthetician, Updo Specialist/Makeup Artist and Wellness Coach with 19 years Experience in the salon industry.
Maybe you need to sit with a stylist who listens and enjoy a cup of bulletproof coffee or tea. Or maybe you want me to use one of my own creative cutting techniques for your haircut which include the “Pyramid Cut” and the “Upside-down Bob”. I want to bring out what is inside and have it match who you are on the outside.
I love people and genuinely care about your hair, your skin and your body needs. What interests me most is the ability to give you advice on your hair and to bring about a change that leaves you feeling confident in yourself and the beautiful person you are.
In August of 2006, our dream and vision brought us to a historic church surrounded by the eloquent town and unique shops of Pequot Lakes, Minnesota. We immediately began the renovation of the historic church, where we did 85% of the renovations our self. From that came our Wellness Salon and Spa that we were able to open to clients in January of 2007. A year later my husband joined me and opened his very own jewelry business in the same building.
A few years after opening we started our family!
We have one daughter Eden and she is an absolute delight, she loves horses and swimming. Then came our second, a son, Lincoln and he is a joyful and strong energetic young man. Our 3rd was Solomon who we call “Silo” our pillar of peace, he is funny, athletic and caring.
After 13 years of running a Salon and Spa in a Historic church we renovated and poured our hearts into we then sold it and built a mini mobile salon in a bus and started to travel with our family. We traveled to 19 states west of the Mississippi and I did hair along the way. After 2 1/2 years full time on the road we are opening a new temporary location at 219 church st. in Sandpoint Idaho our new home state.
Thank for blessing me with the opportunity to serve you!
