I’ve been a hairstylist for over 20 years. I started my career in Little Rock before earning an apprenticeship with Thomas Heinz in New York City – an intensive year-long training in technical color correction and artistic haircutting that I brought back to Little Rock in 2006. In 2018, Alicia and I opened our dream space in Hillcrest, an upscale salon in a comfortable environment.
Never good at sticking with anything for very long, I knew this was my passion when the first few years flew by and I still wanted to learn and grow.
My clients. So many have been in my chair for over 15 years. I look forward to catching up and hearing all the happenings in their life.
I think this may be the cherry on top. Being recognized along with so many incredible women that I admire and aspire to be more like is truly a huge honor.
Balance. I am still behind the chair a majority of the day. That is a completely separate business than running the daily operations of a full-service salon.
Beverly Carter Foundation. A 501(c)(3) dedicated to the safety of real estate agents and lone workers. It was founded after my mother-in-law, Beverly Carter, was kidnapped and murdered while showing property to clients.
Breaks and snacks.
Accounting. We have an excellent accountant, but maneuvering and navigating running daily numbers is not my forte. I’m constantly checking, double-checking and triple-checking payroll when presenting it to bookkeeping.
Always let your conscience be your guide. Jiminy Cricket (and mom.)
