From Sibling Stylist to Empathetic Educator: My Unique Journey in the World of Hair

In a bustling world of hairstylists, my story is woven with threads of uniqueness that set me apart. Growing up surrounded by the beauty of hair, with four sisters and a mom boasting incredible locks, my hands became acquainted with the art of styling from an early age. It was a family affair that laid the foundation for my passion.

Adopted into a family of nine, I discovered the beauty of diversity and inclusion. The joy of being a husband and a dog dad completes my world, bringing unparalleled happiness. But what truly distinguishes me is my relentless pursuit of knowledge. Whether I’m teaching or learning, my obsession with education propels me forward.

As a stylist, my expertise goes beyond the scissors. Having experimented with every imaginable hairstyle on my own, I confidently guide clients with suggestions tailored to their unique personalities. My empathetic nature further allows me to connect with clients on a deeper level, understanding not just their hair but also their emotions.

Prospective clients will find solace in my attention to detail bordering on OCD, ensuring that every strand is treated with precision. As a reflective listener, I grasp not just the words spoken but the unspoken desires, crafting hairstyles that resonate with individual stories. Integrity is my guiding light – a principle that permeates every aspect of my work. Education remains a cornerstone, reflecting my commitment to staying at the forefront of the ever-evolving beauty industry.

To me, honesty is the best policy. I’ll openly communicate if I feel a lack of confidence in executing a particular service, prioritizing client satisfaction over mere transactions. My downtime is spent immersed in the Bravo channel, providing a relatable touchpoint for those seeking not just a stylist but a companion in their beauty journey.

Having grown up in a diverse family, I understand the importance of embracing differences. This background ingrained in me a profound sense of diversity and inclusion, ensuring that every client feels seen, heard, and valued.

Join me on this unique journey, where the art of styling merges seamlessly with empathy, education, and a touch of honesty. Together, let’s weave stories through hair, creating not just styles but meaningful connections.
