Stephanie grew up in southern Illinois just outside of St. Louis. She attended Aveda Institute Portland and graduated in 2019. Stephanie started out as a client at Annastasia’s and fell so in love with the atmosphere and energy of the salon she was inspired to become a stylist herself! And how perfect, she ended up at the very salon that inspired her to join this amazing industry!

Behind the chair, Stephanie’s favorite thing is when she’s able to give her clients the hair they’ve always dreamed of! Wether that’s a choppy little bob or beautiful long layers. She loves creating dimensional blondes and beautiful balayages! Stephanie puts education first and loves to pass on everything she learns to her amazing clients. Her dream is for her guests to be able to recreate the looks they leave her chair with at home! Ultimately, Steph finds the most joy in connecting with her guests and helping them feel like their best selves!

When Stephanie’s not in the salon, you can find her laughing her head off with her friends, driving around with the windows down, reading an entire book in one sitting and drinking gin and tonics in all of the best restaurants in Portland! She volunteers as Programs Director for a local non-profit providing respite to families in the foster care system, where she can use her creativity and passion for justice all in one!
