I was first inspired by the beauty in high school were i attend a cosmetology program offered junior and senior year. Through the program i gained a job at a salon as a receptionist, getting the full experience and loving it! I attended Bedford School of Nail design for 300 hours and became a Nail Technician. I worked in the salon doing nails but I couldn't resist my passion to get my hands back in the hair too. While working as a Nail Technician I continued my education at Continental Academie of hair design in Manchester. After completing a 1500 hour course, I gained my cosmetology license. Taking advantage of all the color and hair cutting education I could find and building my clientele in the salon. I began booth renting, allowing me to gain flexibility to focus and specialize in color and products I loved. It also allowed me to give time and quality in to my clients that I feel they deserve. I still wanted to reach more area's in the industry and share my passion. I began a 500 hour training at Empire Beauty Schools to become a Licensed Cosmetology Instructor for the state of NH I achieved my instructor license and worked teaching students days at Empire Beauty Schools and doing hair at the salon nights and weekends. I felt inspired and loved seeing students learn their cosmetology skills and how proud they felt. I realized I had to choose one career or the other and fully invest myself. I now continue my career behind the chair at Merlins Salon! I keep up with all the required education to maintain my cosmetology instructor license for the state of NH. I also attend many different trainings, classes and seminars to stay up to date with new trends, new techniques and products.
I need a stylist that can handle my curly hair. Any suggestions?

Photos of their work is also a plus! I've been burned before by people who try to fake it. Thank you, everyone!
