About

I’ve been doing hair for 12 years, 6 of those with the Fatty’s crew. I love cutting short hair and curls! Anything that lets me show off a bit of texture and flair. I know my way around a blow dryer too - big hair, smooth hair, wild hair, I’ve got you covered. Everyone’s welcome in my chair, come hang out, have a laugh, snip some hair and leave feeling totally you!
