Who or what inspires your creations?<\/strong> What are your favorite most used styling products?<\/strong> Any words of wisdom you can give to new aspiring hairstylists?<\/strong>
\nMy looks are inspired by many things, the work of Xpresions out of Spain, Angelo Seminara, Louis Llongueres, Vidal Sassoon, Jean Baptiste Mazella.
\nLately, Iris van Herpen has been a huge influence on me. Her example has made me realize that no matter how important consumer hair is for all of us, WE ALL OWE IT TO OUR TRADE TO HONOR THE CRAFT!
\nEvery time I embark on a collection I try to push my boundaries and go to a place that scares me, a place I haven’t seen before.
\nThat is how I grow.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nMy go-to tools right now are the Wahl cordless senior 100th anniversary edition clipper and the Wahl cordless detailer.
\nI’m going through an afro phase,
\n3 years ago I had the opportunity to work with Jean Baptiste Mazella, the shapes he created with afro textures opened my eyes to the unlimited possibilities we are presented with every day.
\nIt is our responsibility to push our boundaries to pursue and achieve what our beautiful craft deserves. <\/em><\/p>\n
\nNEVER STOP LEARNING!
\nWe are so fortunate to work in an industry where styles are changing constantly, forcing us to push the envelope.
\nIf it doesn’t scare the shit out of you it’s not worth doing!!!
\nAnd most importantly,
\nNever deviate from your mental picture, if it comes from your heart it is always right.<\/em>
