I have journeyed long and far to get to where I am now. Born in Albania, I followed in the foot-steps of three generations of very talented hairdressers. After the collapse of the Communist regime, my father started his new salon and I quickly became his right hand. He and I and the rest of the family sought out the Italian and British styles and methods and in no time rose up to the best and most successful salon in the region.

My husband and I eventually settled in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I worked for one of the best salons in the city and I have consistently sought out mentors and taken advantage of every opportunity to expand my knowledge, skills, and creativity in the world of professional hair design.
