Over 30 Years of “Don’t Worry, I’ve Got You”
With more than three decades behind the chair (and many years owning her own salon in Syracuse, NY), she’s done just about everything.
And more importantly—she knows what not to do.
Her clients trust her because she listens, she cares, and she’s not about to damage your hair just to chase a trend. You’ll get honest guidance, real expertise, and results that actually make sense for you.
Yes, She Knows Her Stuff
She’s a Redken Certified Colorist, which basically means she knows her craft well enough to teach it.
But don’t worry—she’ll keep it simple for you. You just have to show up, and she’ll take care of the rest.
Classic, Natural, Done Right
Her specialty is timeless, natural-looking hair.
Think:
-
Soft, blended highlights and lowlights
-
Beautiful, manageable color
-
Classic cuts that grow out well
-
Styles that look polished without trying too hard
If you want hair that looks like you, just better—this is her lane.
Thinking About Going Gray? She’s Your Person
Transitioning to natural gray can feel intimidating—but it doesn’t have to be.
She has the experience and patience to guide you through the process in a way that feels comfortable and flattering. No harsh lines, no panic moments—just a thoughtful, gradual transition that keeps your hair healthy and looking good every step of the way.
What Should You Book Her For?
If you’re not sure who to choose—this is where she shines:
-
Highlights & lowlights
-
Natural, dimensional color
-
Classic, easy-to-manage cuts
-
Gray blending or transitioning
-
Polished, everyday styles
She’s the one you book when you want it done right—and done in a way that lasts.
Her Chair = Comfortable, Chatty, Taken Care Of
Her chair feels like a mix between catching up with family and being completely taken care of.
It’s warm, it’s easy, and yes—there’s definitely conversation (and probably a little laughter). She takes the time to get to know you, understand what you want, and make sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
You don’t have to stress—she’s already thinking three steps ahead for you.
Italian Roots, Big Heart
Raised in a big Italian family and originally from Syracuse, NY, taking care of people is just who she is.
That shows up in everything she does—from how she listens, to how she remembers the little things, to how she’ll absolutely talk about food like it’s a full-time hobby (because it kind of is).
Cooking—especially Italian meals and desserts—is her passion outside the salon. Don’t be surprised if you leave with hair advice and a recipe.
Life Outside the Salon
When she’s not working, she’s traveling back to Syracuse to visit her sons, enjoying the Florida beach life, or cooking up something amazing at home.
The Bottom Line
Good hair. Healthy hair. No stress.
She’ll take care of you—start to finish.
