To my friends and clients,

You may have heard the news, I wanted to take a moment to let you all know that at the end of this month I am moving to Boulder Colorado. My departure will be August 1st 2024. My daughter and I will begin our new journey traveling through Europe, while taking some of our time to visit with friends. I am delighted to also share with you, I have recently married the love of my life.

I plan on not completely leaving our team, as I will be ocassionally working at Refinery Salon potentially every 6-8 weeks.

I am also pleased to announce Samanthta, Sonny, and Mayra will become the new owners of Refinery Salon as a team Co Operative enterprise LLC. This business model gives each stylist a voice to actively participate in contributing to policies, and decision making, that are important to each of them as well as to the Refinery Salon clientele. Team work, for me is a vital model I am passionate about. I have instilled this model to each stylist to work together within each other to create an environment of balance, equality, creativity, and standard.
