From the time I was a little girl growing up in North Jerz, giving my Barbie Dolls buzz cut makeovers, I always knew I wanted to do hair. It was a long road to get here and on the way I did everything from dancing and acting professionally to waitressing in a country club to writing spa and restaurant reviews for an online magazine. But through all that I was always pulled back into the beauty world. In between jobs I’d find myself doing hair and makeup for friends’ weddings or headshots and eventually I decided to enroll in beauty school and give it a real go. I donned that white beauty school uniform, boarded the train with my two creepy mannequin heads and never looked back.
Six years later I’m working at Edris Salon in Manhattan as a senior colorist. I still dance in my kitchen, write daily and attempt to make that perfect mix tape.
