When Brent and I are together we are so connected on that level we can really get on a roll - it can be very infectious...the room can't stop laughing. My most recent favorite Jaxson story came to me from one of his friends: He told me that when they are out at parties Jaxson always draws a crowd and is surrounded by people because he is such a great storyteller.

Kid Story: I'm very proud of both of my children; Briana has found her passion and is a successful local pastry chef; and my favorite Aaron story is when he was 7 years old and on Mother's Day he very matter-of-factly said "Mom, you're fat."

My Perfect Day: Waking up in the morning with the sun shining through the windows, staying in bed until 10am--just enjoying the quiet. Having a big breakfast already prepared--eggs benedict & fresh squeezed orange juice; then meeting friends for a ride on our motorcycles along a back country road, stopping for coffee and having a chat. Later, changing into something nice, for an evening out for dinner and drinks with friends. EchoSign: Cancer Background: I was licensed in 2005 but have been cutting hair since high school - I did a running start program and discovered I was good at it and loved it. I have been with William Collier Design for over 3 years and love the challenge and fulfillment that come with specializing in hair replacement. My expertise is in cutting, and styling women's full head wigs, and partials, especially for clients whose wish is for a more fashion forward look.

Service Philosophy: I'm committed to meeting all of my clients needs, making them feel comfortable and most of all happy with the end result. Children: I have one two year old daughter, Myliah Kid Story: I like to style Myliah's hair, and when I'm done she acts differently; she goes to the mirror to check herself out, then smiles and giggles. She is very opinionated and strong minded; her favorite word is "No!" She likes to put on her rain boots, coat & headband all by herself, then she walks around the house saying "bye, bye" (she's got places to go & people to meet). Favorite T.V.

Service Philosophy: I sincerely want to help people, and I am committed to our clients being happy. My goal is to ease their concerns and help them feel better - one of my greatest joys is watching a client leave our salon feeling great about how they look. Children: I have one 18 year old son, Jaxson. Jaxson Story: Jaxson can make friends anywhere; I remember once when he was about 7 years old, we were on a family vacation in Mexico and Jaxson spent his days playing in the pool with some Mexican children who were also on holiday. Even though he didn't speak any Spanish - they were able to communicate through hand gestures and had a blast together.
