Regina

Owner / Stylist

Q: How long have you been turning out fabulous hair?

A: Too long for the math to add up and still be 29. . . again. . . and again.

Q: What kind of hair do you love working with?

A: I just plain love working with hair in general. I adore working on blondes because of the subtle variance of tones that can make huge impact. I love creating an interplay of light hues and shine that make the hair look sunlit from within.

I also like working with long hair, whether it be making hair long by adding extensions, creating a cut that will bring out the best in someone’s features and texture or simply blow-drying beautiful long hair.

Q: What would you say you’re a master at?

A: My diploma says I’m a master in business, but my heart says I’m a master in fabulous hair.

Q: What hair product/ tool can you not live without?

A: I can’t limit it to just one, impossible. . .

I can’t live without my boar bristle brushes with the cork handles. They have the perfect amount of bristle rows and leave hair feeling glorious.

Kerastase OleoRelax Serum redefined my life as a stylist and I have not been without it in my toolbox for almost a decade.

My other must have is Kevin Murphy’s Fresh Hair because it takes the Vegas out of your hair (for when you’ve had a wild time) and it also adds grip, grit and texture for when a girl needs a little extra oomph (and for me, that’s every day).

Q: What does the word Bombshell mean to you?

A: A Bombshell is a person that knows how to work with what the good Lord gave them!
