Hello! I have been immersed in the cosmetology community for much longer than I knew I even wanted to be apart of it. My mom was a barber, working in Little Rock until she opened the doors of Shear Impressions Salon in 1998. I spent most of my time in the salon, always hanging around and watching my mom work. I spoke with her clients every day and as the months and years went on, I grew relationships with them. I was asked all the time if I was going to go to cosmetology school and become a stylist. My response was always, “Absolutely not!” I had my heart set on going to nursing school. As I spent more time in the salon, I felt a calling to follow in my mother’s footsteps. I wanted to continue her legacy. I started cosmetology school in May of 2000. A majority of the things I learned in school were things that I had watched my mom do for years. Styling hair felt natural and right for me. I graduated from Hot Springs Beauty College in September of 2001. Since then, I have been with Shear Impressions. As for my personal life, you can always catch me reading a good book on my days off. I love going to the lake when I have the chance, especially when the weather is nice. I have two goats named Coco & Loco, and two dogs named Jaeger & Maverick. My favorite thing to do with my free time is spend it with my family. My husband, John, and my two boys, Travis & Andrew. My passion is making this salon a safe place for my clients and helping every person that I style believe in their own beauty.
