Why Natural
When it comes to color, the best hue is a healthy hue! I use the revolutionary non-ammonia, organic, permanent hair coloring Organic Color System. This amazing system leaves hair healthy and shimmering. My mission is to offer healthy, technologically advanced products in whatever way I can, without compromising the beauty of the hair.
I take my health seriously. I have made a business decision for my health and the health of my clients to only work with and use products that endorse ethical, responsible and eco- friendly business practices. The skin is a living, breathing tissue that covers and protects our body, but skin also absorbs things that come into contact with it. Just as prescription drugs can be delivered through our skin via a patch, items such as lotions, soaps, shampoos, and other body care products are absorbed through our skin. If we use shampoo made of petrochemicals and other chemical preservatives, we will absorb that. If we use organic shampoo made of natural oils and herbs, we instead absorb those botanical ingredients. Which would you rather have in your body

About Me
My years of disciplined study of hair color and cutting have given me the ability to create an individualized style in harmony with your lifestyle, career and image. You want hair that complements your natural beauty – hair that really reflects who you are and what you want to project to the world. My vast knowledge in chemical treatments and haircutting will transform your hair into your best hair possible.
My artistic vision is influenced by time spent in various regions of California. Although originating from Troy, NY, I began my hair training in Boston, graduating from cosmetology school in 1999. I relocated to Los Angeles, where I became a blond hair expert. With several blond women within every group of LA friends, it was important that each of them wear a different shade of blond specifically designed just for them.
From LA, I moved north to San Francisco where people really pushed my creative envelope and helped me sharpen my abilities to create flawless shades of red while capturing the essence of the richest brunette and mastering the tricky transition from darker hues to playful blondes – and all the while keeping hair healthy and luminous.
In 2004 I was drawn back to the East Coast, this time to NYC. I now work with many extremely talented people in the salon and on other projects. NYC is a great place to learn and grow as a person and stylist.
Salon Santa Cruz

I had happily been working behind the chair as a salon employee for 12 years and now wanted to work with safer products. I came to Salon Santa Cruz seeking more flexibility for my schedule. I am now able to work with clients, do hair styling on photo shoots and other creative projects, and teach as an instructor at a Cosmetology School! I came to work at Salon Santa Cruz because I love the elegant styling of the salon and because Santa, the owner, welcomes freelancers.
