“I have a great career, and I love it, but I feel that I just have so much creativity in me that can go into so many different avenues.”

“I see the most mistakes when people bleach their hair. People don't use the right products, usually people just go for the fast developer, and they just want to blast their hair as white as possible and as fast as possible.”

“When I'm doing my reaction videos, I try to think if I had to see this person and tell them about their hair in real life and I would never be mean to them. I would say: 'Well, let's talk through it. Let's get to the source of the problem, and let's fix it.'”

“Demi-permanent glosses or glazes can last longer because they penetrate slightly into the hair whereas an at home gloss lays on top of the hair.”

“An at-home hair gloss is typically a semi-permanent hair treatment that adds shine and benefits the overall health and softness of your hair.”

“I love hair masks, all year round but especially in the winter because of how dry it is. They're really going to help you add more nutrition to your hair, smooth it out, and decrease tangling.”

“My dad was one of my biggest supporters, and he's also a hairstylist.”

“I love transforming myself constantly because it gives me that 'new' feeling that I'm very much addicted to.”

“When I was working on my father's salon, I was fascinated by hair products. I thought it was so cool that you could create something that would benefit so many people, and it makes people feel beautiful.”

“I keep a list of TikTok ideas on my phone. I have hundreds of ideas. They can come from so many different places, fan requests, scrolling through TikTok, but mostly from just my own boredom.”

“I grew up in my father's salon. At first, I didn't want anything to do with the hair industry because I wanted to rebel against what my father wanted. I tried out all different creative fields at a very young age. I did photography, video, drawing, jewelry making, fashion - I wanted to try it all. But I kept coming back to hair.”

“My New England upbringing was cute. I think it was nice growing up in a smaller town. I got to experience small-town life, which kind of made me really want to branch out and be around more culture and different people.”

“A curl cream is usually a combination of a leave-in conditioner and a curl-defining product with hold. This helps hydrate, define, and defrizz your curls, rather than just hydrate like a leave-in conditioner.”

“I would do people's hair for all the little dances we had - everybody would call me over to their house before an event.”

“Hair was definitely my passion, but I also wanted to be a YouTuber so badly. I didn't originally know I could combine the two.”

“Everyone's waves are different, and finding the best routine for your hair type takes trial and error.”

“I am definitely more of an edgy type of person. So I always like to create looks that are cool and punky.”

“You're not getting the humidity that you naturally get in the summer, the moisture in the air is very low. So you're going to want to moisturize your hair a lot more in the winter months.”

“Dry shampoo is pretty much the easiest to reduce static. Otherwise, I know people are afraid of hairsprays and think it'll make their hair sticky, but there are a lot of super-light hairsprays.”

“Curly hair tends to be on the drier side and curls need moisture in order to form properly, otherwise, they will be frizzy and undefined.”
