Salon: 
Friends Hair & Nail, Grosse Pointe Woods, Michigan
How long in the beauty industry: 
Since 2002
How I became interested in the business: 
I started in the business when I was 16 just about to graduate high school. I always knew it was something I wanted to do. My cousin mentioned to me that she did an apprenticeship, and told me I should try it out. A month later, after I graduated, I started an apprenticeship at Friends Hair and Nails and I haven’t looked back. This is my passion. I couldn’t be more happy working in a business with so much to offer, where you can grow everyday.
Fun facts: 
I love to go out and dance and have fun with my friends. I love joking around. Pretty much I’m the goofball at our salon. I’m very happy to be part of the coaching program and to work with so may talented people.
What I like most about Kemon: 
The shine that comes from the Kemon products is phenomenal. I have had experience with other color lines and I have still not seen anything like it.
My Kemon product recommendations: 

The Villa Lodola line is great because it is all organic and its 100% recyclable.

What makes Kemon different from other brands: 
Kemon is different from other brands because in their color lines there are no PPDs and a low percentage of ammonia. I love the yogurt color line which is called Yo. It has no ammonia and it is yogurt based, which is great for the hair. The Lunex Decap Super powder bleach is very different from other bleaches because the hair is so shiny and soft when you take it off, it is very nice for the hair.
My favorite Kemon color formula: 
Yo Color 4.36 and 6.36 with Mixy Milk 2.
Styling tips: 
• For straight, smooth hair for extra shine use Control Lis. Provides excellent control of the hair without weighing it down.<br />• When using the sculpting or control mousse, apply to the hand first and then use a comb to apply to hair. Applying this way is the proper way to keep it from cutting down the molecules in the mousse.<br />• Hot Nutrition is a great cutting tool which adds alot of control to the hair and lots of shine.<br />• Sculpting wax is my favorite finisher. It adds separation and texture without giving it the greasy look. Apply after blowdry.
