Manila

I’m excited to meet you and support your fashion desires!

I am a graduate of Douglas J Aveda Institute in East Lansing and have been styling hair professionally since 2000. I started working at Salon de Lourdes in 2009 and prior to that I styled hair at Douglas J Salon in Okemos. Between the two salons, I’ve worked along-side some of the best stylists in the Midwest. My specialty is shaping and styling long hair, but I also enjoy doing perms, highlights and coloring. I am proud to say that over the years I’ve built a devoted and diverse clientele of women and men. Part of my magic includes being a good listener, smiling and welcoming guests to the salon. What better way to make the salon a warm place people enjoy coming into!

I believe that beauty care and styling can build your self-image and brighten your day. Developing a strong rapport and making you feel comfortable expressing yourself is important to me. My goal is to ensure you are confident and satisfied with any style we create together and that you are comfortable recreating that finished look on a day-to-day basis when you leave the salon. It’s this daily creativity that keeps me loving my profession.

If you want to meet a real-life example of someone living the American dream, please drop in and see me. I came to the US from Laos in 1992 and moved with my family to Michigan from Connecticut in 1995. While my professional passion is the creativity of styling hair and fashion, I’m more than happy to discuss antiques, American history or Asian cuisine with you. I’m also an animal lover. Not only does my work fulfill my passion for fashion ingenuity but it allows me to meet and engage with diverse and interesting individuals daily, a part of my job I truly love.

I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and being someone who supports your hair styling dreams!
