I’m a Santa Barbara-based bridal hair specialist with a decade of professional experience and a cosmetology license earned at Paul Mitchell in 2016. I’m known for my refined technique and eye for natural elegance, and I love crafting customized hairstyles that complement each bride’s unique vision, features, and wedding aesthetic.

In addition to my bridal work, I’m a partner at a local barbershop, where I specialize in clean, tailored men’s grooming. This background allows me to offer elevated grooming services for grooms and bridal party members, making the entire wedding morning feel relaxed and effortless.

My approach blends comfort, longevity, and artistry to ensure style not only looks beautiful, but lasts through every moment. Beyond the hair itself, I bring a fun, upbeat energy to every wedding. I’m your built-in hype woman, keeping the vibe light, positive and exciting from the moment we start getting ready.

Women smiling while getting her hair done at a salon, with one woman holding a can of hairspray above her head.

““I chose the name Under the Veils because the moment the veil is lifted, the look is finally complete. It’s the details in the hair and makeup that make that reveal unforgettable—and that’s where the magic truly happens.”

“As the bride, I felt incredible with my hair! I received compliments on it throughout the entire night and was appreciative of how well it stayed in place. Everything felt secure, comfortable, and I felt great.

Beyond her talent, she brought a fun and positive vibe to the entire getting-ready morning. I'd absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
