Owner
Master Stylist & Scalp Therapist
Specializing in fine/thin textures, hair loss, scalp issues & autoimmune-affected hair.
“The thing I love most is seeing confidence build as my clients regrow hair, heal from scalp issues, and start enjoying the salon experience again.
If you sit in my chair, you'll leave feeling empowered with knowledge and a plan of action, even if you’ve tried everything and think nothing will work for you. Healthy, manageable hair is possible!”
I became a hairstylist because I fell in love with movies as a kid and wanted to work in the film industry. I quickly realized that my true passion was in building real connections with people, and being in the salon was much more fulfilling. I have learned so much and grown as a person thanks to the women in my chair.
Wisp was born out of necessity. After 10 years working in a traditional salon environment, I developed severe autoimmune issues and chemical sensitivity. At the time, no salons worked exclusively with low-toxin products and color. And chemical-free, fragrance-free salons didn't exist. I realized that to have a safe place to work and products that wouldn't worsen my physical symptoms, I needed to build it myself.
I am fueled by a passion for holistic wellness, low-chemical living, and creating sustainable practices in my business and my home. I’m a mom to a brilliant young woman. She astounds me every day with her drive and dedication. When I'm not in the salon, you'll find me at the lake, hiking with my pup, swing dancing, or spending quality time with my friends.
Having ultra-fine hair and struggling with hair loss myself, I found it difficult to find a stylist who understood how to work with my hair, and I often felt disregarded. I know firsthand that a salon can feel intimidating when you're self-conscious about your hair. My mission is to provide a comfortable space and support you on your journey to healing your hair and scalp issues.
I can't wait to meet you!
