About
I was born and raised in Richmond and currently live in the city. I am one lucky lady to get to do what I love for a living. I have made some amazing relationships with my clients over the years. It is always fun to catch up every month. They have all become friends and an important part of my life. I am also very fortunate to work for Melissa and Scott Black at Bombshell. They are the best!
In my free time, I hang out with my family. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 11 years and have a spirited 8 year old girl. I LOVE to read, maybe a bit too much. It is my favorite way to relax.

Tips to keep your skin healthy
Use a gentle cleanser designed for your skin type.
Exfoliate your skin to remove dead skin build up.
Moisturize your skin and wear an SPF of 30 everyday!
Avoid extremely hot showers.
Drink plenty of water to keep up hydration.
Eat a healthy diet.
Which facial is right for you?
My advice is to choose the facial you feel most fits your skin when reading the descriptions on a spa menu. A good Aesthetician is going to customize the facial to the needs of your skin if you did not choose the one that is right for you.
Why is waxing a good option?
Waxing removes the hair from the root. When you wax on a regular schedule (4-5 weeks), you will have smooth skin for weeks. Shaving leaves stubble the next day. When the hair grows back in from waxing, it is finer and eventually there is less hair growth in general.
What don’t we know about waxing that we should?
To get the best results from a waxing service:
You need to have at least 3 weeks of hair growth to be waxed. You will see the best results from waxing at your 4th waxing service. This is because there are 3 hair growth cycles. During the first 3 sessions we are stunting those cycles. By the 4th waxing service, all of the hair at that point should be in the same cycle. This is when you will have smoothest result. To keep this result, you will stay on a waxing schedule about once every 5 weeks.
Exfoliate daily between waxing appointments to prevent ingrown hairs. It is also important to use a post waxing cream or serum to keep bacteria out of the hair follicle post waxing and to prevent ingrown hairs as well.
You should never shave between waxing services. It defeats the point of waxing.
