I've seen most of what this industry can throw.

Nothing really fazes me anymore.

I've spent twenty years getting thrown into situations nobody prepared me for, and somehow I always land on my feet. Running a salon in a busy part of Brooklyn that wasn’t even mine, keeping a client list together through COVID, and then walking into Another Planet in the middle of a huge transition.

Taking a private studio to public, that suddenly had to become a real overnight. Half the stylists had walked out, we had way more space than we needed, and everything from the plumbing to the paperwork had to be rebuilt from nothing. We didn't have a lease template, a booking system, or even a sign outside. So we built it.

That's basically been the story of my whole career, new problems I've never seen before, and somehow always finding the next right move. Another Planet isn't the reason I know how to do this. It's just the most recent proof.
