Hi! Welcome to Salon Arcadia! Growing up in North Carolina shaped me, but I sought new experiences across the country. Living in multiple states, along with working in various areas of the industry, broadened my perspective of the beauty business. Somehow, I always felt drawn back to Greensboro. In 2014 I returned, and in 2020 I opened Salon Arcadia, embracing my roots and rejoining the community that I love. The blend of familiarity and growth has deepened my appreciation for my dymanic hometown.

I’ve been a stylist for over 27 years and I love my craft. Building strong client relationships is central to my work. Open communication and trust create a welcoming space where clients feel valued, enhancing their experience and satisfaction every visit. I worked as a John Paul Mitchell Systems National Educator for over 10 years, specializing in color formulation. I excel in red, brunette, and blended blonde shades, creating custom blends that enhance natural beauty and suit skin tones for vibrant, lasting results.

I have a serious case of wanderlust, so I’m always planning our next adventure! When I’m not at the salon or traveling, you’ll find me at home with my husband and our house full of rescued pups. I’m likely trying out a new recipe, gardening or attempting to perfect my sourdough.
