MY JOURNEY

After nearly two decades immersed in healthcare, I decided to pivot to an industry that has always whispered sweet nothings to my soul: cosmetology. As a self-proclaimed Curl Enthusiast my zeal for naturally curly hair quickly outshone the confines of my cosmetology curriculum.

This audacious act launched me into a dalliance with my curls.  Thereafter, I was compelled to remove over 12” of chemically altered tresses, delve deeply into ingredient research and master cutting techniques designed to cultivate the best in naturally curly textures.

My passion found a home on the education teams for DevaCurl and Cut It Kinky, where I further honed my craft. Experimentation and immersion in advanced education culminated in what I now proudly offer: a trauma-free, informed, and delightfully bespoke client experience.

Genetically Curated was conceived from a desire to create a sanctuary for my clients—An atmosphere where judgment is minimized and self-discovery is prioritized.  For many of my cherished Curlies, this is their inaugural experience of witnessing their natural curls in all their splendor. My mission? To cultivate a mirror moment so profoundly supportive that it becomes a declaration of Curl-love!

My aspiration is simple yet resolute: to inspire Curlies everywhere to embrace their Genetically Curated Curls sans trepidation. Revel in the beauty that is uniquely and unabashedly you!
