My Story

Soft, effortless hair has always felt like home to me

I got into bridal hair by accident — the best mistake of my life. I'd always loved braids and styling, but never focused on it until the day I posted a photo of one updo and a stranger asked me to do her wedding hair. I posted the hair from her wedding, and the business took off.

My style is relaxed and romantic — soft textures, loose waves, and the kind of braided, pinned-back details that look effortless but are built to last. I work closely with each bride so the final look feels personal, never cookie-cutter.

Over the years, my work has grown beyond the wedding day. I now love teaching other stylists in person, and I'm building a library of online courses so I can share these techniques with creatives all over the world.
