Hi, I’m Dakota, and I’m glad you’re here!

As someone who has always loved artistic outlets; my passion for hair really started to show up as a teen, as I often found myself as the go-to for family and friends hair and makeup artist for events.

So you might be surprised when I say I immediately went off to college, even though I was still daydreaming of becoming a hairstylist.

After spending my first year in college, unable to decide what the heck I was doing with myself, or what I would major in, I took the leap and enrolled in cosmetology school. I completed my program at Buckeye Hills Career Center, in Rio Grande, Ohio in 2012.

That leap confirmed, THIS was my passion.

Becoming a cosmetologist was a great way to channel all that creativity and achieve the cliche, “choose a job you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” and cosmetology has allowed me to discover that.

My story wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t mention that I had some times where I’ve questioned my career choice. After a big life shift, I ended up back in college at Marshall.

The second time around though, I went for something I knew would further advance my career as a business owner and stylist. The skills I’ve acquired throughout my higher education solidified what I discovered as my other passion; the marketing and business aspects of my career. Now I proudly call myself a Marshall University alumni, as I have earned a bachelors in Business Administration in Marketing and my Masters of Science in Human Resource Management.

When I’m not behind the chair or working behind the scenes of my business, I’m spending my time with my favorite little man, enjoying life as a #boymom —> look at that little cutie!

I truly hope that within these pages you find what you’re looking for to take the jump to come see me. I know meeting a new stylist can be scary, but I’ll do my best to calm your nerves and make your hair appointment something you look forward to! I cannot wait to meet you.

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to create with you, a beautiful, healthy, hair journey.
