    I began my career in ’93 and opened Freelance in ’01. I take a modern, classic approach to beauty. Listening is one of my most prized qualities as a stylist. Hearing you clearly helps me bring out your best self.

    I’m a Redken Certified Colorist, and I go to NYC regularly to learn the best in hands on cutting and coloring techniques. As a hobby I am a metalsmith; creating one-of-a-kind organic rings, cuffs, earrings, and necklaces.

    I'm an island girl at heart and received my professional training in Hawaii in the 1980s. I've been obsessed with style and hair ever since. I have extensive training and multiple certifications in current and cutting-edge techniques and products (Brazilian Blowout, Alfaparf Milano).

    I love making my clients look and feel their very best with the most flattering, eye-catching styles and colors. My philosophy is that our attitude and outlook improve when we go out into the world looking our very best. I'm never happier than when I'm helping someone else do just that.
