From the very start, there was an instant drive and passion for the wedding industry! I've also worked with many clients for special events such as galas, photoshoots, and fashions shows. I love using my talents to make a bride feel the most beautiful she has ever felt! Doing any hairstyle and pushing my creative boundaries is always a desire of mine!
