How long have you been in the program at the Aveda Institute?
I have been at the institute for six months, so far.
Why did you choose to study at Aveda?

Where do you look for inspiration?
My friends and life long hairdresser, my mom!

My mom. She is very successful at adapting to so many different styles and trends. She really lives her passion and puts 110% into her work. She doesn’t just cut and color, she provides an amazing experience!

A relaxing visit with a few laughs.

My comb!

My favorite part of school so far is cutting hair and being shown how to cut those styles we all love.
Where would we find you outside of school or work?
You would find me cycling the back roads in Langley or spending time with friends. I love road biking. I completed the ride to conquer cancer last year and I will train again this year!

Last but not least, what is your best at home hair care tip?
Well, I have two. Always use a product to protect your hair from the heat of hot tools – even if you’re a less is more kind of person. And it’s not bad thing to skip washing your hair every day; it can be a good thing!
