Beauty and fashion has always been part of my life from watching my mother get ready to go out and watching fashion shows. Another big part of my success is my father, he inspired me to go out into the business world and find my own way into this word. By studying business in college I realized that there was a gap in the market for high-end luxury hair and makeup services. So I began to communicate with David Martinez about developing Blue Brush hair studio with me. I wanted an artistic director that can bring the fashion forward approach to hair and beauty. I studied business management so it took us around a year to plan. After many restless and sleepless nights my vision became a reality, the day Blue Brush hair studio was open for the public. I am so proud of the team, we started with 2 employees and now we have two locations and 8 employees. I cannot wait to see what the future holds.
