Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
"My work is collaborative".
We talk about your life, your hair: goals, fears and challenges, to better understand your current hair situation. I listen and work WITH YOU.
With this information a plan is developed to achieve the hair you want.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My journey through the world of beauty has had many stops, and taken me several places around the globe -gathering experience, education and appreciation for cultural differences.
I then went on to get my cosmetology instructor's license and taught at the beauty college for many years.
From there I became an educator & platform artist for KMS. I traveled the states teaching my peers hair color and styling techniques. During this time I went into partnership in a small salon in Corte Madera where I stayed for 5 years. In 1988 I started Sausalito Signatures, a hair salon on Bridgeway. 26 years I created a community that was multicultural and focused on education, health, beauty and fun.
London. -Introduced me to a broader approach to hair color and precision haircutting
Bali -Culture rich tradition and honoring Mother Earth set in motion understanding the need for grounding the spirit
Amsterdam -Revealed acceptance of cultural diversity

How did you get started in this business?
I started my career at Lytle's Redwood Empire Beauty college in 1983, where I was fortunate to study wtih Ed and Kathy Lytle. During my education I was allowed to learn, explore, question and grow as much as I could. I then went on to get my cosmetology instructor's license and taught at the beauty college for many years.

Entertaining provided a way of promotion and uniting people. Signatures became known within the community as a place where hair, fashion shows, great live music and local artists met. Teaching provided opportunities for me to experience different learning styles and methods of communicating, which has enhanced my relationships with clients.
