Be the person you needed when you were young.
I decided to do hair because: It's my happy place! After attending college for three years, I still didn't feel inspired. It was at that moment when I decided to do what makes me happy instead of searching for it. I realized this happiness came while helping friends and family with their hair. This led me to cosmetology school, where I finally found my passion in life.
Netflix/Hulu shows: “Brooklyn Nine-nine” and "Parks & Recreation", Every. Single. Day.
Celebrity you would invite over to Sunday dinner: Lin-Manuel Miranda, of course! He has created some of the most amazing musicals, ever.
Current theme song: “I'm Born to Run” by American Authors. It's a few years old, but still great!
Trend forecast: I believe the push toward natural hair will continue. Natural texture, natural colors and tones, wearable and easy maintenance will still be celebrated.
