BEHIND THE BRAND
BEHIND THE BRAND
Concierge & Admin
Funny. Compassionate. Authentic.
Though my background is in law, the beauty industry pulled me in the moment I stumbled on Regina’s TikTok—and I’ve been learning, growing, and loving every second since. As the Concierge and Admin for Extension ARTS, I’m here to make sure every experience runs smoothly, feels special, and leaves you smiling. Whether it’s helping you find the right service or simply brightening your day, I believe small gestures can have a big impact.
People are my passion. I’m a firm believer in human connection, showing up with compassion, and stepping outside your comfort zone to grow—and I bring that energy into everything I do. Getting to work around so many strong, talented, and kind people (stylists and clients alike!) is my favorite part of the job.
Outside the salon, I’m either hitting the books for my MBA, traveling, or spending time with my amazing circle of family and friends. Also... I might be a Boston girl, but yes—I’m a diehard Yankees and Jets fan!

Upbeat. Compassionate. Loyal.
My love for beauty started young—sweeping floors at my mom’s hair appointments just to be near the energy. In high school, I connected with a stylist who became my mentor and first boss. From assisting to full-time styling, I’ve been in love with this work ever since.
What truly sets me apart is how I show up for people. I build real, safe connections with clients—spaces where honest conversations and self-expression are always welcome. I specialize in sew-in and K-tip extensions, creating custom, seamless looks with instant impact. I’m obsessed with achieving that glossy, silky finish using Iles Formula #3—it’s my go-to for every head of hair I touch.
Outside of the salon, I’m all about creativity, family, and community. You’ll find me crocheting, doing pottery, or spending quality time with my husband, sisters, and close friends. My “sister squad” and big, loving family keep me grounded and inspired.
Faves: Sew-ins, Iles Formula #3
Fun Fact: I crochet and love pottery
Motto: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”
Obsessions: My kitties + the ocean
Goals: Keep growing through connection, travel, and one day, building my own family.
Why Extension ARTS: The creative freedom here is unmatched—and the support I receive continues to shape my growth, both behind the chair and in life.

Calm. Chill. Laidback.
I grew up in Cape Verde braiding kids’ hair in my hometown and watching my mom run her salon—so beauty has always been a part of my life. But it wasn’t until I came to the U.S. and started college that I realized my true calling was hair. I left school, enrolled in cosmetology, and never looked back.
What makes me unique? I work fast without compromising quality, and I’m passionate about creating stunning installs—especially K-tip and curly transformations. My island upbringing taught me to find joy in life’s simplest moments, and I bring that same energy to every client I work with.
Outside the salon, I dedicate my time to volunteer work as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, teaching people about the Bible. I also love cooking with family and finding peace in travel, food, and connection.
Faves: Innersense curly products, K-tip installs, anything curly
Fun Fact: Travel is my love language
Goals: Travel the world while doing meaningful volunteer work
Favorite Part of Extension ARTS: Learning while working alongside a boss who gets it—because she does hair too

Artistic. Empowering. Passionate.
My journey in beauty began with a high school teacher who inspired both my creativity and confidence—she showed me that beauty and artistry could go hand in hand. Today, that same inspiration fuels everything I do. I specialize in dramatic hair transformations, with a passion for helping people feel confident, seen, and cared for—whether that means giving them bold new hair, real advice, or simply showing up as a friend.
At Extension ARTS, I bring both fun and focus to every appointment. I believe in learning from every experience and surrounding myself with people who inspire growth. When I’m not behind the chair, I’m usually painting, walking my dog, or spending time with loved ones over good food and conversation.
Whether it’s extensions, color, or creating a whole new look, I live for the moment a client sees themselves in the mirror and feels like the best version of themselves.
Favorite Quote: "Give up or get hard"

OWNER / ARTIST / LEADER
Creative. Driven. Visionary.
I’ve been in the beauty industry for over 2 decades, , and my love for hair—especially luxury extensions—runs deep. I started Extension ARTS with the goal of creating a space where artistry, education, and empowerment could come together. What began behind the chair has grown into Boston’s go-to destinations for high-end extensions transformations & confidence building..
At heart, I’m a true artist—obsessed with all things beauty, fashion, and pop culture. I see hair as an extension of personal style and identity, and I love helping people express themselves through their look. Whether it's a bold transformation or a subtle upgrade, I bring an eye for detail and a deep love for the craft into everything I do.
I’m also incredibly passionate about teaching. One of the most rewarding parts of my career is mentoring both new and experienced stylists, helping them level up their skills and build confidence in their craft. Education and innovation are at the heart of everything I do.
At Extension ARTS, every detail matters. Whether you’re here for length, volume, or a total transformation, my team and I are all about creating custom looks that feel effortless and elevate how you feel. Our core mission is simple: to instill confidence with every install. It’s not just about hair—it’s about how you carry yourself when you leave our chairs. Confidence is the goal, always.
When I’m not in the salon, I’m usually creating content for stylist education, building the brand or adventuring with Derek, or spending time with our kids and our mini dachshund Maple.

Driven, Creative, Confident .
From Marine to massage therapist to entrepreneur, my path has been anything but traditional—and that’s exactly what makes Extension ARTS so special. I co-founded this brand not just as a business, but as a mission: to create a space where people feel seen, inspired, and confident from the inside out.
With a background in fitness, wellness, and healing work, my role behind the scenes is all about energy. Whether I’m supporting operations, designing strategy, or building new ideas with Regina, my focus is always on creating something meaningful—something that lasts. Every detail of Extension ARTS, from the client experience to the energy in the room, reflects a bigger vision: one rooted in self-expression, connection, and confidence.
I believe in showing up fully—for your people, for your purpose, and for yourself. At Extension ARTS, we’re not just building beautiful hair—we’re building confidence. And that’s the kind of impact I’ll never stop striving for.
When I’m not working on the brand, I’m with Regina and the kids or walking Maple (our tiny but mighty dachshund muse), and finding new ways to grow—mentally, physically, and creatively.
