"I grew up always loving beauty. I almost started my cosmetology career at 20, but it would be almost 12 years before I finally graduated hair school- after a roundabout route that included esthetics school, cosmetics retail, and a thriving career as a professional makeup artist.  Now in my 40s I can say I've finally found my place in this industry, combining my love of hair, skin, and makeup into my own special sauce of beauty and education."
