About

After growing up in a salon and spending 16 years in the business, I tore it all down. I rewrote, rebuilt, and created An Herb and Love Story.

Flashback to the days of phones ringing off the hook, a crazy busy salon with 10 stylists, 5 chairs + a “Best Of” running multiple year streak. We had all the top selling products, we offered colors, cuts, waxing, perms, gel nail services. We were juggling clients while others processed, we were answering the phone constantly. It was textbook SUCCESS. 22 years in the professional beauty business. 

And… I hated it. I was miserable. I didn’t feel good and I didn’t understand why, my hair was dry, dull, and falling out. My skin was red, itchy, and flushed easily. I was learning about the toxicity of the products I was using and recommending. I was battling my own journey of self love and acceptance in a world that promised to make you more likable and attractive.

I wanted something totally different.  Could beauty be authentic? Could it be not only less toxic but actually nourishing? I dove into furthering my education, earning a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Health Sciences with a focus on Herbal Medicine and a certification in Holistic Product Manufacturing.

This is An Herb + Love Story, good for our bodies, our community, and our earth. Health and sustainability are the key pillars of our business. While I am behind the chair less and less, I am creating products that bring out the natural beauty, health, and vitality of the hair, skin, + scalp. Each and every product is created with intention. Sustainable packaging in reusable glass and convenient refill pouches. Desert botanicals like Creosote, Aloe, and Ocotillo combined with Lavender and Nettle from the PNW. Science backed, plant powered beauty. One small batch at a time.
