Hey there Olympia!
I just moved here from Chicago IL after years of dreaming of living in the PNW. I'm so excited for this new chapter in my life and career. Heres a little back story of my last 10 years of doing hair!
I've always been obsessed with all things hair. In 2009 when I discovered I could attend beauty school through a high school program, I didn't think twice. I always knew this was what I wanted to do.
I believe hair is a huge part of our identity. I love how changing your hair can completely transform someone's confidence and self worth. Having a career that allows me to be creative, and make people feel good about themselves is truly a dream come true!
I began my career as a color specialist at a well known, high end salon. I spent 7 years honing my coloring skills.
From there, I went to work at a chic, local salon where I focused on fine-tuning my modern hairstyling skills as a way to compliment my coloring skills. With that goal in mind, I continued my education and became a full service stylist.
Creating a look from start to finish sparked a whole new level of passion in me.
In January 2020 I decided to start a new venture and The Alchemist Salon was born. Being an independent stylist gives my life the freedom and balance I've always desired!

When I'm not behind the chair you can find me...
