Co-Owner/H&MU Artist

At the age of 3, my journey into the world of beauty began through dancing, which eventually led me to a passion for hair and makeup. From competing on stages across New England to styling hair and makeup for friends, family, and classmates, I discovered my love for creating beautiful looks.

After assisting one of my cosmetology school instructors at a bridal hair and makeup event, I knew that the bridal industry was where I wanted to make my mark. In September 2023, I opened Luxe Beauty Lounge in Gray, ME, where I specialize in blonding, hair extensions, soft glam makeup, and braided/boho hairstyles.

Outside of the salon, I enjoy spending time with loved ones, exploring the outdoors, and cherishing moments with my 3-year-old son. I feel incredibly grateful to work in an industry where I can make everyone feel their most beautiful on their special days. Let me help you look and feel your best for any occasion!
