I had so much fun doing hair at New York Fashion Week, styling the look of Grammy award-winning performer MYA through being part of the firm House of Annex. It was an incredible opportunity to work with such talented artists and showcase my skills on a prestigious runway. The energy backstage was electric, and seeing my work featured in fashion publications afterward was truly a career highlight. I'm grateful for the connections made and looking forward to bringing these innovative styling techniques to my clients.
