My artistic journey began in Japan, where I was deeply inspired by my sister’s modeling career. Watching her transform on set ignited a passion in me for the artistry of hair and makeup. By the age of 7, I was already experimenting with styling and braiding hair, and by 14, I had developed expertise in cutting and coloring. At 17, I began my formal training at the renowned Gary Manuel Aveda Institute, marking the official start of my professional career.
I launched my career in Seattle, training under top hair colorists and stylists before moving to New York City. There, I had the privilege of assisting celebrity hairstylists, which paved the way for my transition into freelancing as a celebrity hairstylist.
Throughout my career, I’ve worked on prestigious platforms around the globe, including New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, The Met Gala, The Today Show, and the MTV VMAs. I’ve had the honor of styling notable personalities such as Jeremy Allen White, Candice Swanepoel, Camila Cabello, Sean Hayes, and Barry Keoghan. My work has been showcased in leading publications, including VOGUE, PAPER, Sports Illustrated, Harper’s Bazaar, and New Beauty Magazine.
Based in New York City and Los Angeles, I offer a range of services, specializing in runway and red carpet hairstyling, hair coloring, and men’s grooming. Currently, I’m seeking representation from a forward-thinking agency while exploring brand partnership opportunities to further elevate my craft. Beyond hairstyling, I am a passionate advocate for beauty, fashion, and music. As a New Yorker, I find inspiration in the city’s vibrant culture and dynamic lifestyle. Additionally, I have a deep appreciation for nature and animals. I’m excited about the possibility of creating content that not only highlights my daily life beyond hairstyling but also takes my viewers and followers behind the scenes of my work.
