With 20 years of experience as a top stylist at one of Tokyo's leading salons, I've refined my craft to the highest level.

In 2024, I moved to Los Angeles to share my expertise with a global audience and introduce world-class Japanese techniques to a new community.

I’m excited about the amazing connections and opportunities that lie ahead!

Born and Raised a California Native, I began my career in the beauty industry in 2011. Having trained in one of the top salons in San Francisco under the guidance of the lead Color Director, I perfected my signature color aesthetic which can best be described as: lived in, light, airy, and effortless. After moving to New York City in 2017, I began the next chapter in my hair story. Inspired by the street style of New Yorkers, I expanded my talents as a Hairstylist and began taking cutting classes at Bumble & bumble. Soon after; I discovered my passion for cutting mullets, shags, bobs, and fine tuning the perfect invisible layers for my long hair girls. Working as a bicoastal stylist, my main home is in Los Angeles and I continue to travel to New York and San Francisco for work.

I take care of everything behind the scenes at SHIMA Los Angeles, from marketing and operations to branding and business strategy.

My goal is to create a warm and seamless experience for both clients and stylists, making the salon a place where everyone feels welcome.
