Natural Texture Specialist / Natural Color, Clipper Designs, Braids
She/Her
I’ve had a lifelong passion for hair, specifically curls. My love for hair began at a young age, and my focus and skill has developed over time. I chose to become a curl specialist when I realized how much knowledge on how to properly work with and care for curly hair the industry lacked. I studied 1-on-1 with Melissa for about 6 months before beginning to see my own clients. Now, 4 years later, I have a quickly growing business behind the chair and countless happy clients who are living their best curly lives!
What I love most about what I do is the opportunity to teach my clients how to manage their curls using simple techniques and products. My goal is to someday offer hands-on workshops for curlies in the community.

I'm a Hudson Valley Native. I've been licensed for over 10 years and I specialize in color. Art has always been my passion and I feel blessed to create wearable art everytime I'm behind the chair. I also enjoy expressing my creativity through illustration and ongoing D & D campaigns.
I want to use my professional knowledge to make you look and feel your best, so let's make something beautiful together!

Gender Affirming Cuts / Vivid Colors
She/ Her
I’m a lifelong Hudson Valley resident with a passion for hair. I’m constantly leveling up my skills to help my clients look their best. I specialize in gender affirming styles, but I also love doing creative cuts, short hair and vivid colors.
It’s my belief that going to the salon should always be a fabulous experience. I will take the time to listen to your needs and goals, and then work with you to make it happen. You’re not just a head of hair, you’re a whole person and I take everything from your personality to your lifestyle in to account when we work together. It’s always my goal as a stylist to help every client express who they truly are.
I’ve been in the beauty industry for 7 years. I’m a linguistics nerd, a dog mom and a musical theater fan.

Natural Texture Specialist/ Low Maintenance Color/ Owner
She/ Her
I specialize in natural texture management and natural coloring techniques, for the most practical, low maintenance path to your best version of ‘you’ every day. My work is based on a combination of problem solving, education and artistic vision. I’m certified in the Rezo Cut discipline and have a background in education from Vidal Sassoon Academy, Aveda, Goldwell and many others.
After 20 years in the industry, I founded Chroma to create a unique salon environment that I had not found before. I am as passionate about my clients enjoying a space that invites them to be themselves as I am about extending this safer space to my staff. As Chroma grows, I am committing more time to being the best leader and mentor to my team as I can be, which means I must spend less time behind the chair. I am accepting limited new clients right now.
I’m queer and ‘neurospicy’ . I care for my neurospicy family and a house full of rescue animals. In my free time I love dog training, video games and finding creative ways to make the world a kinder place.
