“My passion for fashion started as soon as I was old enough to play with tinkerbell nail polish and lip glosses.  From there it blossomed into intrigue in everything from vintage styles to urban funk.  It has always been my dream to own a salon in the Mendocino Village.  The moment I embarked on my new life here on the coast I have felt enveloped by the community.  All the paths I have been down have led me to be able to launch my newest path, Mantras!

 As the owner I specialize in cutting and bridal styling.  My experience includes being an educator, Art Director (manager who satisfies clientele with less than perfect experiences), public relations with local fashion, coordinating fashion shows and local community events, seminars, expos, backstage stylist, on stage platform artist, multiple published works in 944 Magazine, and volunteered services for the Fresh Start Organization for 7 years plus many other volunteer causes and events.”

“Fashion has always captivated and inspired me. A hairstyle or color is self expression at its best, our ultimate fashion statement. I remember as a child being mesmerized by my older sisters’ extravagantly large dos as they emerged through clouds of Aquanet.  I can honestly say this was my moment of realization of what I wanted to do. Through continuing education I’ve come to understand and appreciate individuality is the ultimate beauty. Through this concept I hope to inspire you to your perfect shade or style at Mantras.

  As a Color Specialist & Make-Up Artist my experience includes satisfying clientele, public relations with local fashion, local community events, seminars, expos, and I have volunteered services for many causes and events.”

“What brings me the most satisfaction from my profession as a stylist is listening to my clients and giving them the look they desire. I remember my first cut and color after graduating from Elite Beauty School in Sacramento, and the sheer emotion and joy my client felt in having her hair cut and styled the way she wanted it. I knew then that I had made the right career choice.

As a Mendocino Coast native I have worked alongside the top stylists on the coast and learned from the best. Throughout my professional career I have still found that the best cuts, colors, and styles still come from listening to the client and what they want. While I have grown my talents and ability to offer new and dynamic looks, I find the personal connection with each client is the basis for a satisfying and unique look.“

“All inspiration results when the combination of elements both seen and imagined come together.  The privaliage of experience offers the freedom of expansion and confidence.  Our environment sets  a stage for success.  Success is a client who always leaves the salon with hair, spirit and sense of self defined in elegance and practicality.  We are all unique and share a common passion toward beauty in all of it’s expressions.  The gift follows you home and keeps on giving.  When you sit in our chair, whatever we do…we do it well. 

Always offered is the ongoing welcome invitation to return, moving with season, mood, fashion and lifestyle.”
