My Favorite Thing About Being At Uncle Is
My favorite thing about being a barber is the people you meet along the way. Each guest is an opportunity to do something special and different. In my 36 year career, I have had the pleasure to meet and work with some amazing people. I also love making people feel better about themselves. Sometimes just a haircut, or maybe a color service and new style. It is very rewarding to see a guest walk out with a smile on their face and know that you have made their day. I still love coming to work and hopefully making a difference in someone's day.
In My Spare Time
I have been in the industry for 36 years and still love it! In my spare time I love a good “treasure hunt”. Antique stores, thrift stores, consignment stores…… I paint and refinish furniture pieces and home decor. I am married with three grown sons and four grandchildren. I also have three active little dogs that keep me on my toes. Never a dull moment.

My Favorite Thing About Being At Uncle Is
I'm a barber because it's what I've always excelled in, I've worked in full service salons and always gravitated towards men's hair. It's a good feeling to help people feel a little better about themselves whether it's just a Tuesday haircut or we're getting you ready for a big date, even switching up your style completely! I love to see the smiles and hear “it's perfect, I needed this".
In My Spare Time
I'm a mom so in my spare time I like to rest, but I love being on the water, whether it's kayaking or swimming. Anything outdoors is my jam. I'm a big music buff so if there's a festival or concert coming up I'll most likely be there!
