As a young salon owner, I dreamed of working on sets, but it was nearly impossible to make the leap from salon to set. It took snagging a mentor and diving deep into the industry’s secrets for me to land that big break. Now, I've worked on hit shows and movies like "Brooklyn-99" and "Pirates of the Caribbean," scored an Emmy nod, and now lead as the Haircraft President of Local 706 IATSE.

 

Through Beyond the Combs Academy, I’m pouring over 30 years of my film & TV industry wisdom into courses for hairstylists eager to make their mark, boost their skills, and grow their earnings. I’m incredibly driven to open doors for more people of color in this space. I'm also here to shine a light on mastering textured hair for current union hairstylists. Whether you’re joining me from your laptop or stepping into our Los Angeles hub, it’s time to elevate your game. Let’s do this together.
