At Lotus Salon & Spa we are a group of like-minded, creative, passionate, individuals, empowered to achieve one common goal; to make you look and feel your absolute best.
I graduated from Continental School of Beauty in 2022, and now I am perfecting my skills at Lotus Salon & Spa. When I’m not doing hair I enjoy spending time with my family and friends, as well as my fur babies Bentley and Waylon!
