Ocean (she/her)

I'm 20 years into my hair career and you'd probably never guess that hair didn't come naturally when I was younger. As a Millenial, natural hair was out and flat irons were in. I was fighting my curls with not an ounce of heat protection in sight as a teen and looked like a poofy triangle! But just like everyone else those interesting choices of youth helped build me into the human and stylist I am today. And my music choices also sent me on a path to build a space where everyone can feel seen for who they are, gender norms be damned! Praise the gods: Prince, Bowie, Joan Jett & Freddy Mercury. 

​

Educating my clients and creating styles that feel true to them aesthetically and for their lifestyle is what I enjoy most. Whether you are walking the corporate line and bending the limitations on dress code regulations, or you've traded late nights for old people hobbies but kept your badass playlist that still sings to your soul, I can create a color and/or cut that works with your lifestyle not against it. And represents the multifaceted human that you are. 

​

Outside of the salon you can catch me checking out concerts and small local shows. I will never get rid of my black skinny jeans, they're a part of my soul. I love getting outside and being active when the weather isn't summer in the south. I enjoy lifting weights, walks for my mental health and music in my headphone escapes. I have 3 furbabies that run my life and a wonderful partner that I love making memories with, (The END Cruise being one of our favorites). My TBR shelf is overflowing with books I have all intention of getting to and my house has a touch of the spooky life 365 days a year. A perfect night in to me is my partner and I alternating picking a record to put on and a bourbon cocktail in hand.
