Stylists
Toni
In 1985, I obtained my Cosmetology license from Horst & Friends, which later became the Aveda Institute. Following my education, I furthered my studies in color theory and business development. As part of my career journey, I served as an in-salon Hair Color Educator, earning certifications in weft and tape-in hair extensions. I also pursued advanced education focused on curly hair. Interestingly, my path into this industry was sparked by a disappointing bang trim experience, This incident inspired me to pursue a career where I could provide better experiences for clients. When I'm not working in the salon, I find joy in activities like bike riding and spending time in the kitchen, cooking. Additionally, I have a passion for painting and drawing, and I prioritize my fitness through workouts and weight training. In fact, I am a certified personal trainer. However, my greatest inspiration comes from my daughter. Her confidence, independence, passion, drive, and positive outlook on life constantly motivate me to keep pushing forward.

My journey into hairstyling began with a simple joy: helping friends prepare for special occasions by styling their hair and makeup. This experience sparked my passion for the transformative power of hairstyling. I realized that I could turn someone's vision into reality, enhancing their confidence and beauty.
What drives me as a stylist is my commitment to my clients. I want each person who sits in my chair to know that I am dedicated to making their hair dreams come true. Listening attentively to their desires and concerns is paramount to me. My chair is not just a place for haircuts and styles; it's a safe space where clients can freely express themselves and leave feeling empowered.
My inspiration to pursue this career came from a personal setback—a bad hair experience that left me determined to ensure no one else would feel that way. I believe deeply in the emotional impact of having hair that reflects your personality and style. Seeing my clients walk out with a smile, feeling confident and beautiful, reaffirms my commitment to being the best stylist I can be.
