In Her Words

Why did you choose to attend Z Hair Academy?

I chose to attend the Z Hair Academy cosmetology school in Overland Park because it felt like the perfect place for me! Everybody I knew that had previously graduated from Z Hair Academy only had positive things to say about their education and experience.
What is your favorite service?

My favorite services to perform are anything dealing with curls. I love to create curly updos, work with braiding, or simply curl the hair.
What is your favorite hair product?

My favorite hair product is the Joico K-PAK Reconstructing Shampoo and Conditioner. I love using these K-PAK products because they smooth and hydrate the hair, leaving it healthy with a lot of added shine.

When I was younger, I lived in Texas and was able to spend a lot of time outside. One of my favorite things to do was garden with my grandparents!
