In Her Words

Why did you choose to attend Z Hair Academy?

I chose to attend the Z Hair Academy cosmetology school in Lawrence because I’m a Lawrence townie and have worked and lived in Lawrence, so I decided to stay local! I also grew up coming to Z Hair Academy for haircuts!
What was your first job after graduation?

My first job after graduation was apprenticing under Shannon Horting at Hair Experts.
Where do you currently work?

I currently own my own booth at Volume Lash & Hair Studio in Lawrence, where I offer color services, cuts, full body waxing, and eyelash extensions and lifts.
What do you wish you knew when you were a student?

I wish I knew not to be so hard on myself—you have to constantly learn and grow in this industry, so learn from your mistakes and always take advice from your peers; your way isn’t the only way.
How has Z Hair Academy helped further your career?

Z Hair Academy set me up for success. I finished as a level three stylist and couldn’t have asked for better instructors while I was there. Their continuous support in open classes is a huge bonus!
What do you do in your spare time?

When I’m not behind the chair, I spend time working on my house with my boyfriend of 10 years, and we love to spoil our two dogs.
What is your favorite hair product?

My favorite hair product is the Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Treatment.
