MY PROMISE

I’ll provide you with the knowledge I continue to gain from behind the chair and in the classroom. My class will never be just theory. It’s quite the opposite as the focus will remain on real world ways to build and retain your clientele. I’ll continue to build on my 10+ years as an educator (including being a Partner with L’Oreal Professionel’s Academy) and nearly 20 years behind the chair. My growth in both phases of my business will continue to mold TGIbalayage in our ever changing industry.
