I have been blessed with fabulous opportunities in the industry: trained at The Vidal Sassoon Academy, Santa Monica and worked at top salons in Santa Monica and Beverly Hills. And, after 26 years, I still LOVE what I do. I have been a color educator for IT&LY and have educated hairdressers in the world of color for the past 13 years.
