Her journey into the Cosmetology field began in high school, and after graduating and receiving her license she worked part-time as a hair stylist. Deciding to further her scholastic education, her love of animals lead her to the Pre-Veterinarian major at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore. While away in college she could not deny her passion for field of hair care. She made a vow to devote her working ethics to her already established clientele and building her future brand. As her skills and passion for her craft developed more in the Cosmetology field she realized hair care and management was truly her calling. After graduating with a B.S. Degree in Horticulture, she decided to continually perfect the knowledge of her craft in the hair industry.  She has always sought to make sure that all who sit her chair will leave it with the understanding of the importance of proper hair care whether they have natural or chemically treated hair.

Some of her work has been featured in various hair magazines local & international such as; Washington Life, Global Women Magazine, Style Q, Like A Lion Magazine, KODD Magazine just to name a few. In 2014 she was given the honor of becoming an Educational Platform Artist under the L'Oréal Corporation with the Mizani hair brand. This being the second brand she has worked under, the Mizani brand helped open the doors to one of her dream goals of being a platform artist. During this new journey she was able to gain more access to networking, business opportunities, and has had the privilege of working behind the scenes at D.C. Fashion Week, Harlem Fashion week at the Apollo Theatre & various N.Y. Fashion Week shows with designers such as Samantha Black, Meika Joi (Rich Girl Candy) and Michael Costello and a few other well know or upcoming fashion designers. Accomplishing another goal was in 2015 working behind the scenes of a short film production movie with Eastward Films called "Days and Days". But style and grace are not just for the silver screen or the runway, they are also for that special day for Brides to be! Becoming an expert Bridal Artist is another passion she enjoys in the industry which called to her, and she believes that she can elevate your wedding day look that will have more heads turning than any leading lady or top model.

After some reflections she decided in 2016 to rebrand her business name from "Unique Styles by Phrenchie" to something truer to herself and she discovered "PHRENCHmade Hair Services". This name spoke high volumes to her because this means exactly what it says. The name embodies the drive to make everyone feel good about themselves from a simple salon visit, a special occasion, or a photoshoot session in a beautiful exotic place.  Phrenchie has a message to share to whomever crosses her path that's eager to learn how to manage their own hair. "Trying to maintain in this Texture World we live in can be challenging these days. This is why it is important for us Cosmetologist to help educate and guide everyone on this important but forgotten skill."

 

With such an evolving industry there is no limit to her craft....
