How long have you been a Boston Business Women member?
I believe this is my 4th year.
Where are you based? How did you end up there?
Foxboro. I grew up the next town over.
Tell us more about your company! What do you do and what pushed you to start?
I was born to March to the beat of my own drum. After years in the industry being shoved into the boxes of others where I simply didn’t fit and didn’t want to fit I decided to branch out on my own. I became a business owner at the ripe age of 32.
What is your definition of success? How do you know when you’ve reached it?
While I do enjoy living the life of an entrepreneur on my own terms, I’m just getting started. I would like to be making money in my sleep, I want to incorporate healing arts into my work. I love helping people, and I’m a great connector.
What was one of your biggest challenges in business?
My biggest challenge so far was the Covid lock downs.
How do you handle the harder days? The struggles? Those moments when you feel like giving up?
I allow myself to feel the feelings, and then I practice showing myself grace and forgiveness.
How has being a Boston Business Women Inner Circle member positively influenced your life + business?
Oh my goodness where do I begin? All of my questions to everything in life get answered in BBW. I have made the most amazing connections personally and professionally.
Tell us about your most proud moment in your career.
My most proud moment in my career was opening my own suite.
Who is the woman behind your business? What does she like? How does she spend her free time? What does she value?
I spend my free time with my love, our families, and friends. I love to travel. I love adventures, and field trips. I'm a foodie. A lover of essential oils and healing.
What makes you stand out from others in your field? What do you do differently?
I work with intention and I charge by the hour. I listen to my guests, I have them show me where on their body they'd like their hair to fall when cutting. I take the time to discuss options, cost, and maintenance with each guest prior to servicing their locks. Each person who books an hour or more with me leaves my salon with a product to care for their hair with.
Where can we keep up with you? What social media platforms do you use the most?
Facebook and IG
