I first began styling hair in the San Francisco Bay Area.   After graduating cosmetology school, I trained under master stylists  in San Francisco developing my  technical skills, & creative artistry for 3 years.  I then moved up to Portland, and began styling hair on my own exclusively at Aveda salons in the Portland metro area. After working in salons for 8 years, in order to have more flexibility (after having my second baby boy) I decided to leave the salon. I began working in my home salon, and on location for weddings. 

    After working weddings exclusively for a few  years,   I founded the Portland Makeup & Hair team in 2012.  We are an award winning team of incredibly skilled & personable artists.   I'm so proud to be able to say that the company continues to win awards,  be featured in several magazines,  grow & thrive every year.

 I continue my education attending top hair classes, shows, & conventions each year.      I also enjoy working on commercial,  editorial,  and a variety of projects.   Some of my most recent clients include:

Intel, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, Comcast, Senator Gabby Giffords, 2018 Gold medal Olympian Jocelyne Lamoureux-Davidson, 2018 Gold medal Olympian Rico Roman

I have been a professional cosmetologist for over 20  years, and absolutely love working in the industry. I love what I do, and love that I often get to work with some really amazing artists & friends!

  I’ve always had a passion for fashion and style,  and I knew from a very young age I wanted to  work in the beauty industry.   I  graduated from the Aveda Institute Denver in 2010 ( hair/esthetics/nails).   From 2010-2015 I worked for MAC Cosmetics-  I fully enjoyed my time with MAC, & was very successful within the company.   I have advanced training and certifications with  MAC Cosmetics, and have taken one-on-one classes under Bri(Portland makeup and hair owner) in both bridal makeup and hair. I enjoy learning,  and expanding my knowledge on the latest trends.

    For the last 2 years I have been focusing on my career as a stylist in the salon,   as well as  doing bridal makeup & hair with the PM&H team.   I have been part of the PM&H  team since 2012.  Doing makeup and styling hair  is  truly my passion.   I love working with brides, and not only making them feel beautiful, but giving them a new found confidence. It’s such a rewarding feeling.   I’m so thankful to be a part of such a fantastic team of talented women who are so enthusiastic about their craft.

   In my spare time, I love doing anything social, spending countless hours on Pinterest and Instagram looking at make-up, hair and fashion, traveling, and spending time outdoors with friends and family.

I first styled bridal hair when I was 16, and was so captivated by the process that I went on to pursue and earn a license in hair design just a few years later. I’ve had many wonderful experiences in every corner of the ‘hair world’, and bridal styling remains my ‘first love’ and greatest passion. Few things are more delightful than being a part of the joyful energy in the ‘getting ready’ moments on the day of the wedding! It thrills me to work with gorgeous brides and their wonderful bridal party to create hair that matches the beauty of the occasion. Bridal styling combines my love for creativity, communication, and celebration so perfectly - I'm continually amazed and grateful that I get to have so much fun while 'working'. :) Whenever I'm not styling, I love travel and getting opportunities to serve different communities, most recently in Latin America! I'm a born-and-raised Oregonian and I love doing all the outdoorsy things expected of a PNWer. :) I'm a chai snob, a writer, and a notorious early-to-bed advocate, determined to take on the 'grandma vibe' as much as possible. I look forward to meeting you on your big day!

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had my hands in hair.   I attended The Academy of Hair Design in Salem, OR where I received my Cosmetology license.  I quickly excelled to the top of my class,  and was the top student in the school for ten consecutive  months.     I continue my education so that I am able to provide my clients with the very best service & skill.   I love that I am able to have my passion be my “job”.  There is something about being able to make a bride feel like her best self, as well as all of the beautiful women she hand picked to be by her side.

When I’m not working weddings,  I stay very busy-  I have two beautiful girls that keep my life very interesting,  and busy and a husband who just might be Prince Charming. I’ve grown up in the PNW and adore all it has to offer.   I truly take pride in what I do,  and I love that I get to meet amazing people while doing it!
