Shelli trained at the Vidal Sassoon Academy in Santa Monica, California, and went on to become a Goldwell Master Colorist and platform artist for ABBA.

her approach
Shelli wants the person in her chair to feel heard and cared for — and to leave looking in the mirror with a genuine smile. She describes her finish work as exceptional, and the clients who know her would agree. She’s drawn to people who might need a little extra attention they don’t usually get.
