My Story
It all started when I was a wee child. Born to a Mother who was a hairdresser, an Aunt, and a Grandfather. I was often the 'head' of experiments as she learned new techniques. Not always to my liking - the curly perm in Junior High School. LOL Mom opened a salon and I loved spending time there. I soon started experimenting with my friends. Years later, in 1991, Waterfall Salon & Spa was born. Mom's second Salon! I went to Cosmetology school and started work for my Mom immediately upon graduation.
​
Forward 10 years and I become the proud owner. Mom has retired and I carry on the legacy of the Premier AVEDA Salon & Spa in Placerville.
​
My Education
I graduated top of my class in Cosmetology. (My instructor is still my client after 28 years!!) I attended the AVEDA Institute of Minneapolis where I trained to excel my skills fresh out of school. I've had a plethora of ongoing training - mostly AVEDA.
​
I am a color specialist. Highly skilled with haircuts - always working with your hair type and customizing a cut just for you. I am very proficient with Hot Heads Extensions. I am Certified in Copolla Keratin Smoothing Treatment.
