Why I am a stylist:
I'm a big kid! I love to cut and color and am thrilled that I can have a job
doing what I love. I was always the kid who made snowflakes out of paper -
even in the summer.
What you need to know about me:
I love my job. I do my best to listen to the clients and make them happy. I
figure the client is really my boss; so, if the client isn't happy, then I am not happy.
About ELEMENTS:
Deb and I started this salon in 2005 after we both had worked at places that
held us back. We wanted a place that everyone will feel comfortable with.
We love the bright colors and open floor plan. We hope this will leave you
feeling calm and relaxed.
About me:
I have lived in Springfield for 7 years and have loved every minute of it. It's a
great city because of it's size. Big enough for cultural events and small enough to
feel like a hometown.
Favorite TV:
Anything Sci-Fi, Stargate, Eureka, or things on USA - Burn Notice, The 4400,
The Dead Zone, Psych. Also Doctor Who and Kyle XY (it's my secret fave - it's
supposed to be for teenagers I think).
My Education and Work History:
I went to Beauty School a little later in life. I went to college for 3 years,
then later decided on Beauty School. I went to Mr. John's School of Cosmetology
in Champaign. I only went part time, so it took 2 years. When people ask me
how long I have been working, I always include one year of school because I
went so long.
Then I worked in a small salon that was on campus at the U of I. I loved it
because I got to interact with people from all over the world. I even had 2 clients
from Iceland! I was sad to leave, but it worked out for the best.
Here in Springfield, I worked for 2 different places before heading out on my
own. (It was more like pushed, but I'm glad it happened.)
4 Favorite Things:
1. Any new beauty supply - like hair products, makeup and such. I love
working with new products.
2. Reading - I love reading and usually have 3-4 books going at one time.
I'm one of those people who read Harry Potter in 2 days!
3. Animals - mostly cats, but I think I could be talked into a dog if I found the
right one.
4. Watermelons - I know it sounds strange, but they are my favorite thing to
eat, decorate with - everything - my clients always find me stuff!
