CANDACE

BEHIND THE CHAIR

I moved to Saint Augustine in 2007 to attend Flagler College, but I quickly realized college wasn’t the right path for me. Since childhood, I’ve been passionate about two things: moving to Florida and doing hair. I was always the friend helping everyone get ready for special events, so turning that passion into a career felt natural.

Now, 18 years later, I’m still behind the chair and loving every minute of it. My love for color has taken me across the country, where I had the privilege of teaching other stylists before COVID changed the industry. Over the years, I’ve invested deeply in continuing education and only work with the highest-quality brands to ensure my clients get exceptional results.

The most rewarding part of my job is watching a client’s face light up when they see hair they didn’t think was possible. While I enjoy all aspects of hairstyling and the meaningful relationships I’ve built with clients, I’m especially passionate about dramatic color transformations and extensions—they keep me inspired and push my creativity every day.
