I’m not perfect, not even close. What I do have is an insane work ethic and a passion for learning and perfecting my craft. I grew up in upstate New York. By age 16, I was the girl who did everyone’s hair and makeup at slumber parties.
The sole owner of Make Me Fab, Salon, Spa, and Bridal. We’ve been rated as one of the Hot 100 Salons in America. and our work has been featured in Glamour, Self, Instyle Hair, Women’s Day, Martha Stewart, Time, The Knot, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle and numerous other publications. Our blog posts have earned us a place on the list of both the top 100 aesthetician blogs and the top 75 cosmetology blogs. For over 25 years, thousands of brides, socialites, celebrities, and public figures have experienced my kind heart and God-given talent.
A cum laude graduate in marketing from Southern New Hampshire University. I was working my “real job,” as a sales representative for Experian, selling residential mortgage credit reports to mortgage bankers and brokers. I amassed a territory covering 5 states. On weekends, I worked as a member of a special events team for Clinique, servicing multiple retailers in upstate New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts, while also helping out at my family’s restaurants.
I started doing wedding makeup on the side when people asked. And was convinced by a mentor to go to beauty school, “so nothing could stop me,” so I quit my real job and received my esthetics and cosmetology licenses with my 3 babies in tow. I opened my first location which was only 300 square feet. Within five months, it grew to 600 square feet and within five years to 1,800 square feet. Then I received an amazing opportunity and opened a second location in the Pavilion Grand Hotel, in the downtown hotspot of Saratoga Springs, NY. With two salons, a commercial styling clientele of news anchors and politicians, hundreds of brides and bridal parties per year, my business reached the annual million-dollar mark. And I’m going to teach you too. Except your going to skip all of the mistakes and struggles I made along the way. Your on the million dollar fast track mama!
