Born in Colombia and living in Colorado for the past 7 years-- A place that has allowed me to grow, reinvent myself, and connect with people from all walks of life. My journey in the beauty industry began over 10 years ago, when I discovered that through makeup and hairstyling, I could not only transform appearances but also boost self-esteem and awaken confidence in others. I love listening, observing, and understanding what each client wants to express. I work with detail, honesty, and a lot of passion. 

In 2024, I graduated as a hairstylist from the renowned Aveda Institute Denver, where I refined my technique, learned to care for hair using quality products, and create styles tailored to each face, personality, and moment.

Today, with a decade of experience and countless stories shared in my chair, real beauty begins when you feel like yourself. And my job is to help you get there. 

This is not just about beauty-- it is about connection, confidence, and self-worth.
