Then later became a hairstylist and multi salon owner. My driving force has always been education and amazing client experience. Now with a few decades of experience behind me I have been part of it all photo shoots, music video shoots, film, stage, runway, competition stylist, judge, guest speaker, television host, passion4pinup.com, product and apparel line, business coach, brand ambassador, platform artist, author and educator. Now taking all my experience I host a podcast called the Hairstylist Empowerment Podcast.  To Empower others by your spoken word. Being the change. Creating the change while making a difference. Hairstylists and beauty industry professionals sharing their stories of trials, tribulations and triumphs. Letting their voices be heard by hairstylists helping hairstylists around the globe. Now with over 40,000 downloads and voted in the Top 25 Must Listen to Best Hairstylist Podcasts 2021 and listen to on over 30 audio platforms + video Being part of a community mean giving back to the community. Hairstylists of Hope is my passion. Hairstylists of Hope are Leaders and Visionaries for a brighter future. Commitment to safer salons, practices & equality for all.

No matter how tough things get we always have and can give hope. In business you should know every aspect. In my book A to Z of Professional Self Care it  shows you the one main area we often neglect...Ourselves. How can we be 100% for everyone else when we are running on empty ourselves. This book addresses that as well as fine tuning other areas of your life.  I am humbled and honored to be a guest on A Better Beauty Business. Heidi & Jessica are Amazing!!!
