A Bit About Me

Everybody has a story, and mine is about patience, persistence, and trusting the path I’m on. I became a licensed stylist in 2015 and opened Kharma Beauty Lounge in 2020 with the dream of creating more than just a salon .. I wanted a space filled with good energy where people could feel cared for, supported, and inspired. My journey hasn’t only been about hair; it’s also about raising two amazing kids, learning homesteading skills like baking and gardening, and living a life rooted in natural wellness and connection. What makes me stand out is my belief that good Kharma follows when you lead with positivity, treat people with kindness, and create an environment where everyone feels welcome.

​

Since launching The Greenhouse in 2020, I’ve grown, learned, and leaned into my vision..evolving into Kharma Beauty Lounge by 2023. Along the way, I’ve trained with icons like Chris Appleton, Harper Ellis, and Kim Haberley, even welcoming master educators into my salon to share their insights. Good Kharma is a mindset, and it guides everything I do.
