I've been loving hair my whole life and became a professional back in 2014! Haircuts and blow-drys are what I do best! I'm also a curly hair specialist, certified through a brand called SURFACE. I understand the fear that may come with trusting someone with your haircut firsthand. I'm here with a purpose - to listen to your haircut needs and wants but also guide you on how to style and take care of your natural texture. It brings me so much joy to give humans their dream cut! Grateful!!!

I am an artist originally from North Carolina and am passionate about making people feel beautiful and confident. I have been doing hair since 2011 and love working with Eufora color and styling products. My strengths and passions involve natural highlighting and custom blonding (including grey blending) for a low-maintenance grow-out. I love doing natural dimensional brunettes that are blended and soft. I love doing classic layered haircuts with movement, precision bobs, textured mullets, shags, and also working with natural curls. I love to educate my clients on how to keep their hair healthy and manageable while also keeping it simple. I'm passionate about creating a safe space for neurodiverse children and adults- knowing that patience and safety is important and inclusive. I also respect all gender identities and pronouns wherever you are on your journey to you. When I'm not being creative behind the chair I love oil painting, playing my guitar/drums, yoga and spending time with my animals. Can't wait to meet you!

I have enjoyed being on set, behind the chair and back stage as a hair and makeup stylist for over two decades. My experience journeys from Redken and Cutler to the Neo Burlesque scene and Circus Nightlife of New York City. With an intuitive approach to various forms of creation, I have become a wiser woman, more versatile artist and healer. My favorite hair work ranges from loose lived in looks to punk rock styles and tight fades! And talking about trauma, death, spirituality, astrology, healing and all things energy is my vibe! Originally from Mississippi and coming out of 15 yrs in NYC, I’m looking forward to my new, whole and balanced life here in Asheville.

I have lived in the Asheville area for 24 years. I’ve loved these mountains since I was a little girl. I have two grown daughters, and three dogs. I was a stay at home mom and professional face Painter before I became a stylist. I love to travel, garden, see live music and play in the woods. I consider myself a family stylist and love doing Womens, Mens and Kids cuts. I also enjoy doing all things color and texture related, including highlights, double process, root retouches, full color, perms, conditioning and Keratin smoothing treatments. Before I was a Willow’s Dream stylist, I was a client. This salon inspired me to be a cosmetologist. I am so grateful to be working at this beautiful salon making hair dreams come true.
