"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
It began with a friendship
High school days were great, until we discovered the salon would be where we would cultivate our strongest bond. For over 20 years, we have worked behind the chair together, so it was only natural we would take the next step and begin a journey together. History brought us together but our passion for the beauty industry is what got us here.
We wanted to create a space that would be a positive environment for both our clients as well as our staff. And so Secret Beauty Spa came to life in 2014. Secret Beauty Spa has been a creative outlet for us both as well as our team, a safe space to collectively learn, educate and inspire all who walk through our door. Secret beauty Spa is a full service salon offering many beauty services to make you look and feel your absolute best.

As a child, I spent many days at an in-home salon which totally set the tone for my career. I loved the scents, the energy, and hustle of Salon life. I loved the contagious laughter on early Saturday mornings. I loved seeing the "glow" when a woman felt her best. This made me dream of working behind the chair one day. Since 1996, I have found myself behind that chair and I love every minute of it. I love that I have the ability to enrich someone’s beauty from the inside out. As a salon owner, I take this role incredibly serious. It's an amazing journey of self discovery and ambition for myself.

I absolutely love coming into the salon, the energy is empowering. I love my team and am honored that they chose and continue to choose working with SBS. Something all my clients know about me is that I love to teach, not only in salon classes, but my own clients as they sit in my chair. What good is it if your hair only looks that way when I do it? I want my clients to be confident doing it on their own. My favorite thing to do is short razored pixie cuts!

Now that I have been doing hair professionally for 16 years, I realized that the thing I enjoy the most is getting to know my clients. Understanding my client's personality and lifestyle helps to create the best look for each individual. Which are tricks and tips I've learned while in the process of becoming a master colorist, as well as other classes I regularly attend to stay on trend. I love the beauty industry as much as I did the first time I stood behind my chair.

With three decades in this industry, I still absolutely LOVE what I do! I service my clients with the hottest styles and educate them on how to best take care of their hair at home and what products and tools to use. Listening to my clients is a huge part of my success as a master stylist. My clients and continuing my education are my top priority in my career! I love staying up to date with my education and go to multiple classes each year to keep up with my client’s hair requests for the hottest trends. I’ve traveled to LA, Las Vegas, NYC, Boston, and more to be educated and inspired by artists like Sam Villa, Chris Appleton, Tabitha Coffey, and other top stylists from all around the world. I also attend many local hair shows and classes focusing on color, cutting, balyage, and other highlighting techniques. I specialize in textured cuts and multi- dimensional hair color. Visuals work best for me so bring in all your inspo photos!! “Life isn’t perfect but your hair can be”
