"I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 1996. I spent the first few years floating from salon to salon and then decided to work at a wholesale beauty supply for 4 years. When my son was born, I knew I had to make a change and do something where I could make my own schedule and have him with me and also to be close to where my daughter went to school. It was very important to be present for all of my children’s life events. So that’s when I decided to open my own salon in the small town I grew up in east of Colorado Springs. I owned and operated it for almost 21 years. A very large part of my clientele were seniors. That’s what I really enjoy doing. Now that our children are both grown and have their own lives, my husband of 29 years and I decided it was time for a new adventure. We just moved to Sterling a month ago. We love this area and being closer to the lakes here for fishing and camping. And we have very good friends here too. Both looking for jobs. Both self employed. I saw Tara’s ad on Facebook and called. Turns out we both grew up in that same little town east of Springs! A familiar face. I’m so excited to get started working in a new environment with new clientele!"

"I am a Sterling local. I graduated college in 2019 with a Bachelors Degree in Criminal Justice with minors in Psychology and Sociology. Prior to graduating & since graduating, I have worked mainly with kids and am currently employed at Centennial Mental Health Center where I am a Youth Mentor. I love working with kids & making a difference in their lives. However, with COVID in 2019 & suddenly losing my dad in 2020 I began to have a very different perspective at life. LIFE IS SHORT. I didn’t want to work an 8-5 job and I certainly did not want to do something that I wasn’t absolutely passionate about. I would like to say that I have always been a skincare junky, but I especially found interest in the esthetics profession when I started having problems with my own skin. I would catch myself at all hours trying to find the perfect products and or “hacks” to make it better & sadly I am STILL battling with this. Experiencing acne first-hand and knowing how much it can diminish one’s self-esteem made me realize that I wanted to pursue a career in something that focused primarily on helping others feel beautiful & confident in their own skin. We aren’t getting any younger, so just like me, take that leap & come see me! Starting in February I will be taking clients on Fridays & some Saturdays and Sundays. I am so so excited to see some familiar faces & hopefully some new ones as well!"
