Community & Service Work

I believe in giving back to both my community and my industry. Over the years, I’ve supported:

City of Hope Cut-A-Thon, Locks of Love, and Wounded Warriors through fundraising and volunteer work.
Hoboken Green Team initiatives to promote sustainability in beauty.
Hairdressers Against AIDS “Sea Life” Fashion Show (2011) — raising awareness and using our craft for impact.
Backstage work at NYC Fashion Week, bringing runway-ready looks to life.
Community and service have always been at the heart of what I do—because beauty is about more than hair, it’s about connection.

Beyond the Chair

Outside of the salon, I love exploring the beauty and wellness scene in both South Tampa, FL and Hoboken, NJ. With over 35 years in the industry as a master stylist, salon owner, and color expert, I’m passionate about learning the latest techniques in curly hair cutting, balayage, highlights, and hair extensions so my guests always receive modern, customized looks. When I’m not creating transformations behind the chair, I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, and finding inspiration in fashion, health, and lifestyle trends. My goal is always to help clients look and feel confident — inside and out.
