After graduating from auburn university in 2005 with an international business degree, I moved to Birmingham, Alabama to attend XCELL Academy, a Paul Mitchell partner school. Upon completion of the cosmetology program, I began the instructors program, I became Paul Mitchell certified level 1 in cutting and coloring. I attended "Paul Mitchell Signature Gathering" in Las Vegas, and "We Run with Scissors" in new Orleans where I learned the latest in cutting and coloring techniques. I was also fortunate to experience hands on training with Paul Mitchells editorial director Lucie Doughty where I learned foiling artistry. The Sanctuary Salon allows the perfect setting to share my passion for the beauty industry.
