What made you pursue the beauty industry and what is your favorite part?
What made us pursue the beauty industry is the fact that it is always evolving and growing. There is something new to be learned each day which keeps things new and exciting. We think that’s beautiful.
What inspires you?
What inspires us is our clients. They inspire us to be the best version of ourselves everyday. This ensures we are the best stylist for them by always staying up to date on our education so we can provide them with the results they desire.
What are your go-to products?
Our go-to products are Keune satin oil shampoo and conditioner, K18 molecular mist and leave-in, and the Leaf & Flower phyto-molecular oil.
The Keune satin oil
shampoo and
conditioner contains Maracuja, baobab and monoï oil that deeply moisturizes without making your hair heavy or greasy. It transforms dull, dry hair into silky-soft strands with a beautiful shine.
The K18
molecular leave-in repairs hair from bleach, color, chemical services and heat in just 4 minutes while the
molecular mist strengthens the hair and increases resilience before salon services.
The Leaf and Flower
phyto-molecular oil is made to optimize total hair and scalp vitality and encourages damaged hair restoration.
What would you tell your younger self?
I would tell myself that you're not going to end up where you think you are and that's okay. You're in a better place than you could have ever imagined. The journey wasn't easy but we made it! The journey matters just as much as the end game and as long as you stay true to yourself and who you are you will be successful.
