My hair career started in Rhode Island in 1988, when I trained privately under a Pivot Point Academy instructor. I then worked in various salons in Rhode Island as a stylist. In 1998, I decided to train in New York to be a Framesi Colorist. I worked in New York, NY, Boston, MA, and Providence, RI as a Master Colorist, until I decided to relocate in 2005 to southern California.
