What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
As much as I have enjoyed all the fun social times in my life, I’m a secret homebody at heart. I cherish quiet time spent at home to recharge my social batteries. I think people always assume I thrive when I’m out and about but it’s the quiet moments at home that I’m always looking forward to.
What accomplishment are you most proud of?
As much as I enjoyed working with my favorite celebrity clients when I lived in LA, I am most proud of my haircare line dpHUE and I look forward to expanding the brand globally this next year. Creating new hair products to treat specific needs has been as rewarding as crea4ng some iconic hair colors in the salon. Celebrity clients include Jennifer Aniston, Margot Robbie, Miley Cyrus, and Gwyneth Paltrow.
How would friends describe you in three words?
Loyal, passionate, and dependable.
What are a few of your favorite places in Nashville?
Bourbon steak for martinis and the best steaks, and 1892 in leipers fork for a cozy quiet meal with friends.
Tell us about your routine for looking and feeling great inside and/or out (salon, spa, fitness, wellness, well-being, etc.)
I try to do hot yoga at least four four times a week. I really like taking classes at Fahrenheit yoga and Nashville Yoga Company here in Nashville. I have been enjoying lifting weights a few times a week lately with Kevin Klug of Klug Fitness. I try to regularly get facials at Karee Hayes clinic with Kendall. And as often as possible,I see Adam at Arete for at home vitamin IVs when I’m traveling a lot.
Describe your perfect day.
After a morning workout, I love a quiet day at home cooking and catching up on my favorite shows. I look forward to days where I have no responsibilities other than just being cozy at home lately.
Do you have a favorite quote you live by that you would like to share (and why)?
I believe in creating and living a life that my younger self would be proud of. I’m always trying to be the adult my younger self would have loved to spend time around. I read a quote once that always comes to my mind when I’m trying to be the best adult version of myself “be who you needed when you were younger”.
What is your definition of beauty—as it pertains to yourself and/or others?
Beauty is all about confidence for me. There was nothing I loved more about doing hair color for so many years than the moment I turned my client towards the mirror and saw the huge smile on their face. I love the confidence a woman exudes when she feels like the most beautiful version of herself!
