Specializing in Curly Hair and Curly Hair Extensions. I'm a licensed cosmetologist in Maryland and California with a passion for curly hair and extensions.

I do the Deva Cut and though I'm well versed in a wide range of extension methods, my specialty is Brazilian Knots. I use a wide range of Paul Mitchell and DevaCurl products, and I love to cocktail natural butters and oils. I'm a strong advocate of continual education and strive to stay at the forefront of my field with my knowledge of new products and services. I stay up to date on all the latest trends so that I can give you exactly the look you want. I place a high value on listening to you to better understand your needs. I respect your hair and strive to provide an exceptional guest experience on every visit! In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family, being outdoors, thrifting, and creating one-of-a-kind jewelry.

After 7 years, my son finally made it back to Cali… and of course mama had to get her hands in his curls!

His scalp had a little buildup, so I gave him the full Cécred treatment: Clarifying Shampoo, Hydrating Shampoo, the Rice & Rose Protein Treatment, and a Deep Moisture Mask under heat. Finished with The Doux gel + a light trim to bring out every curl pattern. 🌿✨

He never, never wears his hair out, so seeing all his curls out was such a treat! He rocked them for a couple of days before I braided him back up for his flight. 💕

If your scalp + curls need the same love, try adding Cécred into your routine.
