I create effortless hair that looks expensive, for women who want to feel like the best version of themselves, without spending every morning fighting with their hair.
I’m a Master Stylist and a Master Extension Specialist, known for dimensional brunettes, lived-in color, and luxury extensions. I specialize in creating soft, natural results that grow out beautifully and fit seamlessly into your lifestyle.
My chair is a place where great hair meets great conversation, and every appointment is tailored to your goals, your vibe, and the way you actually live. No cookie cutter formulas. No chasing trends that don’t suit you. Just customized hair that looks effortless, feels healthy, and turns heads for all the right reasons.
You’ll find me at Drift Uptown in St. Petersburg, with clients coming from across St. Pete, Tampa, Clearwater, and greater Pinellas County.
Specializing in dimensional brunettes, lived-in blondes, luxury extensions, and unapologetically good hair days.
Three things, done properly, for hair that looks expensive without looking done.
Hand-painted, sun-lit dimension built around how your hair actually grows. Full and partial highlights, blonde correction, and the kind of grow-out that never asks for a rescue appointment.
Hand-tied and tape-in extensions, custom-blended and cut in so the line disappears. Length and density that move like your own hair, because nobody should be able to tell.
Soft, dimensional brunette and bronde with expensive-looking depth. Rich, low-maintenance color designed to look as good at week twelve as it does the day you leave the chair.
Pricing through the salon — Drift uses a stylist tier system, and every service is quoted at consultation so you know the number before we start.
