I’ve been doing hair since 1981.  I love the people I’ve met and what I’ve learned from them….    Creating a hair style that works for the individual — whatever that takes, that’s what I try to do.

Time flies when you're having fun.  It is hard for me to believe that I've been doing nails for eight years now!  I not only love creating art everyday I work, I love that each of my clients feels better after coming to me.  For some of my clients it's a bright red polish, for others it's a clean and fresh french manicure.  Either way, I get a wonderful sense of accomplishment and contribution to making my clients more confident.

I am originally from Oregon and moved to Alaska in June of 2010.  I am happily married with 5 children and 1 grandchild!

I’ve been doing hair and nails for 11 years now and it is my absolute passion!  Besides cars, that is.  Listening to a client tell me what she wants, whether it’s a color, cut, hi-lite, perm or a set of acrylic nails with art is a great blessing.  I get the opportunity to help her express her inner beauty outwardly —- what more could you ask for?  Helping someone feel good …. Except working with “family” here at B Bella makes me feel like I’m home.  Amazing!!!  To welcome new clients, I am offering a 10% discount for  first - time appointments with me, effective September through October, 2010.

Life is full of surprises!!!  I would never have guessed that I’d be working in my sister’s hair salon after retiring from my office job.  But it’s fun, challenging, and after a year and a half, I’s still learning something every day.  And the special people I get to work with make the difference for me.

I am a happily married mom of two and have lived in Alaska for 17 years now. I have been doing hair, my passion, for 5 years.  I love it all but my favorite is probably hi-lites and colors and helping people with those problem areas. I Specialize in really listening to my clients and doing my best to help them achieve their ultimate goal or using my knowledge, honesty, and expertise to figure out what would work best for them.  Besides being a mom, this is truly one of the most rewarding jobs you can have and doing it with my B. Bella Family makes it my home away from home!

I moved to Alaska almost 5 years ago from Oregon, and we have grown to really love Palmer!  I have always worked within my community and in business.  I love people and I thrive in a busy environment.  I enjoy B Bella a great deal!  It is like being with an extended family and great women who love what they do.

I look forward to a long relationship with our community, the people in it and B Bella.
