What is your hair specialty? I love, love, love blonding of any kind!

What do you never leave home without? My chapstick and airpods.

What was the best decade for hair and why? The 80s! I love all the volume and big hair.

What is the hair care product you cannot live without? Leave-in conditioner is my must have—I can’t imagine brushing my hair without it.

What is your daily hair routine? I wash my hair every two days and when I do it’s always two shampoos, conditioner, spray leave in conditioner, heat protectant and blow dry. I love doing pigtails, buns or anything to keep my hair out of my face!
