With 35 years of experience in the hair business, I have a passion for making people look and feel their best.  

​I trained as a Cosmetologist and after graduating from The Potomac Academy of Hair Design, I was recruited by the late Robin Weir of Washington, DC. Through him, I was introduced to Glemby International and started my career in the hair industry. 

I have extensively trained with Wella International and with L'Oreal Paris.  I became a hair stylist and colorist at Bloomingdale's White Flint, in North Bethesda, Maryland in the late 80s.  After 4 years, I joined the team at Rainbow Hair Designers.

I have extensive training in hair coloring techniques with Wella International both in the United States and Europe. I have also trained with Tigi in Dallas, Texas, and with

L'Oreal in Paris. 

My coloring techniques vary from soft and natural to bold and eye-catching.  My goal is to make my clients look and feel their best.  I take into account every aspect of each individual - from personality to face shape and structure.

I take pride in my ability to listen to my clients and create a bridge between my mind and theirs.  Making people feel and look their best brings me so much pleasure and satisfaction.​  I have always believed in team-work and I love the interaction with my coworkers that keep my ideas flowing as we constantly learn new things as the beauty industry evolves.  

​I truly love what I do.
