I went to Kanab High School in Utah where I grew up almost all of my life. I was always in some kind of extra circular activities such as FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America,) Drill team, Cheerleader, and the book club. When I was in high school I was knows as “the go to girl,” for makeup and hair whether it was Homecoming, Prom, or the bus ride to the next big game I was either doing formal up-do’s to fun colored highlights. I actually learned how to foil hair by watching my hairstylist and using my best friends bleach kit that her sister-in-law gave her (sister-in-law being a hairstylist.)I love “playing with hair” as my husband would say…J it is something that I not only enjoy doing but that I really love.
I met my husband in the year 2006 and shortly after we were married August 4th 2007. About a week after we got married we moved to St. Thomas Virgin Islands where I think I finally decided that I needed to do something that I knew I already loved doing.…. while I was in St. Thomas I found Hillary. She is this amazing woman down in the Islands. She is a Hair Designer that went to New York for her degree. She got me so excited about fashion and hair. I owe her a lot! She just had this passion that radiated through her work. You could feel her excitement when she was doing what she loved. This is how I wanted to feel. And so here I am 3 years later finally doing what I know I was made for. Cosmetology! I started school February 1st 1010 at Regency Beauty institute and it has been an amazing ride. I have been through Master designer qualifying month, and made it! Matrix Spread the Love and 2 salon fairs. The first Salon Fair I placed 1st with Supercuts top 10 picks, and the 2nd I placed 1st overall. What our salon fairs include is 2 hours to prep you model into the desired hair-do and a panel of judges decide who the winners are. Now the Judges are actually Salon owners from all over Tucson. Salons like Tony and Guy, SoHo, Supercuts, , Cost cutters, ect. Not only do they judge the contest but they also bring information on their own salons for future employment. So the students get a chance to kind of judge the salon owners. It’s one of Regency’s ways of job placement. Now that I am almost finished with school I just want to get out in the world, make some noise and do some hair. There are 2 salons that I actually want to work at one being “SoHo” and the other is called “The Source.” I can see myself being at both of these salons because of the people who work there and the atmosphere that surrounds them. I want to walk into a salon and feel like I can let everything that happened all week long can just sit outside the front door. I want to feel relaxed and at ease. Both of these salons offer such a dream. I feel like I am very passionate about what I want to do and who I am as a person and I hope that the people who surround me feel the same way. So here’s me in a nut shell…
