Ember & Shears
About me
I began my journey in the beauty industry in November 2021, graduating a year later in November 2022, and I’ve been behind the chair full-time ever since. From my early days working in Brainerd to building my craft in Uptown Minneapolis, I’ve developed a strong sense of timing, efficiency, and adaptability—skills sharpened during two years at Fantastic Sams. Those fast-paced environments taught me how to think quickly, stay organized, and consistently deliver results without sacrificing quality. I take pride in being both technically skilled and highly professional, always striving to create an experience that feels seamless and personalized for every client who sits in my chair.
Beyond the salon, I channel my creativity as an SFX makeup artist and actor at the Dead End Hayride in Wyoming, MN, which has deepened my appreciation for transformation and self-expression in all forms. That artistic background fuels my passion for helping people feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen in their own skin. Whether I’m creating bold, vivid colors or natural, effortless looks, my goal is always the same: to bring your vision to life while making you feel heard, valued, and empowered. I’m incredibly proud of the stylist I’ve become, and I carry that pride into every appointment, every conversation, and every transformation.
