I was born in the Bronx, the oldest of three and raised by a single mother.

After HS I decided to leave NYC and made my way to Dallas.

I’d done my mom’s hair since I was 15. So I signed up for classes at Ogle and after nine months I was a stylist.

My first job was as an Apprentice with Patrick O’Hara where I remained for five years. I learned a tremendous amount from him. It’s here where I truly became the stylist I am today. When I left Patrick’s, I rented for a couple of years. I got my feet wet in running my own show. This spurred my desire to own a salon. With the help of my business partner who believed in me at age 29, I had my dream.
