I am a glass-half-full champion of women, and I love to share a laugh while my hands are busy creating hair magic.

Favorite Things
Before opening my salon, I observed what worked and what didn’t in a salon environment. I have taken all that cumulative knowledge and years of service and poured it into the experience at Gold Rush.
I was born in BOCO, raised in San Diego, and have been back in Boulder since 2017. By 19 years old I began what would become a lifelong career in the beauty space. My time behind the chair has spanned 20+ years and I’ve styled hair coast to coast.
Vibes are important around here.
When all 5 senses are tapped, it has a grounding effect.
Gold Rush has an abundance of natural light, soft lounge music playing, sips and sweets to enjoy, as well as a lavender scented hot towel for after your scalp massage.
come as you are
I am obsessed with design, primarily interiors and I am a total do-it-yourselfer! I have created all the string art in the salon.
I made it through the 2000s as a hairstylist, so I can make it through any trend.
I have an inquisitive mind. I enjoy spending time learning a little bit about a lot of things.
