SMALL TOWN, BIG HAIR.

 I’ve been drawn to work in fashion since I was a little boy wearing my mama’s heels around the house trying to steal her vogue out her beauty room. I dreamed of being the person to create those beautiful images we see in magazines. Being an artist was in my blood, I just never imagined I go from cutting scene hair cuts in high school to a 6 figure artist.

I grew up in the Gulfshores area where I developed my talent in photography. I was obsessed with portraiture which lead me to pursue my degree in the fine arts. In my small town the only photography making the kind of money I wanted to make was wedding photography and that just wasn’t my gig, so I decided to go to school for cosmetology. It was at the Aveda Institute in Birmingham that discovered my talent and calling to do hair. I started getting involved with social and saw an amazing opportunity to build an online portfolio that would attract clients and brands to work with me. I dedicated photo time for every client and in all that practice I saw a way to also incorporate my love for making beautiful images.

Fast forward 6 years and I’d like to think I’ve done a lot. I like to credit much of my success to putting myself out there and chasing every opportunity.  3 years ago I opened my own salon with hopes to bring a safe place to my town for people of all walks of life in my small minded conservative town. Little did I know I’d be fighting a pandemic. Even though I was scared my business would fail, I fought to see us through. Since I started doing hair I’ve been nominated for a btc oneshot award, been a product tester and educator for an international brand, hired on as an influencer for an amazing new company, worked on countless photo shoots, as wells as shows like NY fashion The Blonds, L’Agence, Alexander Wang, Joshua Kane and many more. This is only the beginning! I want use my talent of make people look like super stars so everyone can feel like a celebrity ✨
