I did my training in Bloemfontein, Maison Costa, an intercouffeur salon.  Travelled to London and Ireland after a few years.  Was employed at Urban retreat in Castlebar, Ireland for 2 years.  Attended a few courses in Ireland and came back to South Africa, where I bought Waves & Ripples. I specialise in foil and colour techniques. Giving a make-over to someone is very rewarding, boosting their self-confidence and making them beautiful.  I offer any advice of the newest trends and on how to manage your hair when at home.

I have wonderful team support. My passion is the business side of the salon to make the current systems work.

Come visit me, I’m looking forward to assist in making you look beautiful.

I completed my studies at Westonaria.  I have 6 years experience in the hair styling field. I joined the Waves & Ripples team in 2009. I have a passion for my work and I see each client as an exciting challenge. I love working on set, behind the cameras where time is of the essence to assist in styling actors.

My interests are new trends, especially men’s hairstyles.   There is a wide variety when it comes to men’s styles. I regularly attend workshops to bring me up to date with the latest make-up, jewels and clothing trends, choosing the perfect hairstyle to fit your lifestyle.
