Why Kiyo?

After graduating from VIU I was excited to hear that KIYO was hiring because its an education based salon.  The stylists do an amazing job here and I want to work up to the same level of skill.

Why did you choose this industry?

It’s a fun career path because the industry is always changing so you’re always growing as a stylist.

 

Favourite Go-to product:

Pret-a-powder, because it gives me volume all day and extends my style so I don’t have to worry.

What are your major accomplishments in life and business?

I graduated high school a year early to pursue my passion and was selected to be in the Head Start Program.  I am very proud that I won 1st place in the 2016 Vancouver Island Central Regional Skills Competition for hairdressing while at VIU.

Colour Keys, Colour Change, Balayage, Kiyo Academy Education and VIU Hairdressing

What are your favourite activities/hobbies outside of hair?

After losing 75lbs I am now getting into outdoor activities such as hiking and kayaking.  I also enjoy making mosaic glass artwork in my studio along with nature photography.
