My Hair Story: 20 Years in the Making

I am Barbie. Welcome, and thank you for being here.

My journey in the world of hair has spanned over two decades—a path rooted in intuition, creativity, and an ongoing love of learning. As an intuitive handcrafter, I approach my work with an artistic eye, a perfectionist's attention to detail, and a deep passion for the craft. I'm also a dedicated listener and communicator, always striving to understand each client's unique needs and vision.

Throughout my career, I've held diverse roles including salon and education manager, national color educator, freelance stylist, salon owner, and now, proud private studio owner. Most recently, I've become a licensed cosmetology instructor and earned an Associate of Arts degree.

I’m committed to delivering exceptional service with a personalized, professional touch. Every session is performed using top-tier salon products that are environmentally sustainable, cruelty-free, gluten-free, and vegan.

Whether your style leans modern or timeless, I welcome you warmly and look forward to helping you look and feel your best.

Beyond the Chair

When I’m not working with my hands, I cherish time with my greatest creations—my four beautiful children. They are my heart and my daily inspiration.

To stay grounded and inspired, I immerse myself in nature, music, theater, travel, fashion, animals, food, and all kinds of creative adventures. I believe in staying curious, embracing new experiences, and connecting with others through learning, laughter, and love.

Why GlenDale Arts?

GlenDale Arts is a name that honors my grandfather, Glen Dale—a handcrafter with a heart of gold and a laugh you could never forget. His spirit lives on through every detail of my work and space.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my page. I look forward to meeting you.
