About — The PVD Hair Edit

01 — Origin

The Early Pull

I don't remember a moment when hair entered my life as a decision. It was always there. A pull. A curiosity. I wanted my hands in it — shaping, refining, understanding how something so small could completely change how someone feels about themselves.

I grew up in the '90s, surrounded by excess in the best possible way. Big hair. Bold color. Transformation that felt powerful. What stayed with me wasn't just the glamour — it was the idea that you're allowed to evolve. That no version of yourself is ever final.

"Reinvention isn't a phase. It's a practice."

Before hair, there was food. Cooking was my first love. Professional kitchens taught me discipline, pressure, and precision. I learned how to execute under demand, how to lead, and how to care for people through experience — not just results.

I chose cooking because it felt sustainable. Respected. A craft you could build a life around. When that path stopped aligning with the work I wanted to do creatively, I changed course without hesitation. Hair wasn't a detour. It was a return.

02 — Training

My Foundation

Training with Toni & Guy near Philadelphia gave me a foundation rooted in precision and color theory. Discipline is what allows creativity to stay honest — and that environment demanded both.

Over time, my work became known for luminous blondes, dimensional color, and corrective techniques that balance intention with restraint. What often goes unseen is the level of thought behind every decision. I care deeply about process, pacing, and how the work feels — long before it's finished.

"Confidence comes from knowing when to refine, not add."

03 — Home

Providence

Providence changed everything. It gave me freedom — real freedom — to be fully myself. Opening my own studio here wasn't optional; it was necessary. I work best alone, with focus and clarity. One chair. One client. One conversation at a time.

What I thought would take years happened faster than expected, and I don't take that lightly. What matters now are honest relationships, thoughtful collaboration, and work that feels intentional.

"I work best when the noise is stripped away."

Outside the studio, my life is rooted in creativity and connection — music, writing, long walks, slow Sundays, and time with my husband and our dogs. These things keep me grounded. They inform the way I work. At this stage of my career, I'm no longer interested in proving anything.

The Philosophy

The Edit.

We edit everything.

The meal we almost made, then reconsidered. The message we rewrote four times before sending. The version of ourselves we tried on in our twenties and quietly retired. The haircut we held onto too long because change felt like admitting something.

Editing isn't about fixing what's broken. It's about staying honest with who you are right now — not who you were, not who you think you should be. It's the practice of adding what belongs and subtracting what doesn't. Of looking at yourself clearly and making a deliberate choice.

I named this studio The Edit because that's what every appointment actually is. Not a service. Not a transaction. A moment of reflection — a chance to look at yourself and ask what stays, what goes, and what's ready to change.

Hair is just where we start.

Life, Informed

Outside the chair,
everything still counts.

Music, writing, long walks, slow Sundays, time with my husband and our dogs. These aren't separate from the work — they're what keeps the work honest. Creativity doesn't stop when you leave the studio. It just changes rooms.

What I bring into every appointment is shaped by everything outside of it. The way I listen. The way I slow down. The way I notice what someone needs before they've found the words for it.

For Everyone

This chair is
for all of you.

Whatever your hair history. Whatever your texture, your budget, your hesitation, your past experience with someone who didn't listen. Whatever you've been told your hair can or can't do.

This is a judgment-free space built for honest conversation. Bring your questions, your insecurities, your inspiration photos, your skepticism. We'll figure it out together — no pressure, no agenda, no rush.

The only thing I ask is that you show up as yourself. That's always enough to start.
