I was born in Nancy in northeastern France, not far from the borders with Luxembourg and Germany.

Having studied business in high school, at the age of 17 I began training to become a licensed hairstylist.

When I was just 24 years old, I opened my first hair salon in Nancy and soon began entering hair competitions. I wanted to win some competitions both to become better known but also to gain access to the artistic world in Paris.

I have been a Wella ambassador for 15 years and was the French Artistic Director of international hair group, Intercoiffure. As well as training other hairstylists, I have traveled the world working for TV and photoshoots as well as live on stage.

Having realized all my dreams in France, I moved to California in 2015 in search of the American dream. Here I started again from scratch and worked my way up until I was able to open my own salon in Montecito in 2019.
