My journey in the salon industry began over 30 years ago when I first entered the world of salon management in my early twenties. With a natural flair for hairstyling and a burning desire to make a difference, I quickly ascended the ranks, learning new skills and gaining invaluable experience.
My ambitions knew no bounds. I decided to invest in my own business, which began a new chapter in my career, defined by growth, change, and unwavering determination. I took the helm of Rusa Hairdressing, a salon I could transform into a hub of creativity, sustainability, and community engagement. For the past 14 years, I have led Rusa Hairdressing with a visionary spirit, continuously pushing boundaries.
Under my leadership, Rusa Hairdressing has become synonymous with excellence and is known for its expert haircare services. However, what truly sets us apart is our growing commitment to sustainability. Embracing eco-conscious principles, I have recently initiated initiatives to make Rusa Hairdressing a sustainable salon, inspiring clients and peers to join the movement toward a greener future.
But my journey is more than just professional success—it's a testament to the power of resilience and perseverance. I've encountered obstacles and setbacks, but each challenge only fueled my determination to succeed. I have become stronger and more resilient through hard work, dedication, and an unwavering belief in myself.
My leadership style is deeply influenced by my admiration for Stevie Nicks. Like her, I value creativity, independence, and a profound connection to the artistry that defines my work. I lead with a touch of mysticism, always striving to create something meaningful and beautiful. This sense of individuality permeates everything I do, from how I run my salon to how I mentor and inspire my team.
Today, as the CEO of Rusa Hairdressing, I continue to lead by example, inspiring my team to reach new heights of creativity and growth. With a keen focus on sustainability, community engagement, and personal development, I remain committed to shaping the future of our industry—one salon visit at a time.
True success lies not only in achieving personal goals but also in nurturing the next generation of talent. At Rusa Hairdressing, I'm passionate about cultivating new stylists and creative professionals, offering them the opportunity to learn and grow under the guidance of our experienced educators. By fostering an environment of mentorship and continuous learning, I aim to equip the future leaders of our industry with the skills, confidence, and innovative mindset needed to thrive. We are building a brand and a legacy of excellence, creativity, and sustainability that will inspire and empower others for years.
As I look towards the future, I do so with optimism and determination. My unwavering commitment to excellence drives me forward, ensuring that Rusa Hairdressing remains a beacon of innovation and inspiration in the world of beauty and beyond.
