A look into the highs, the hustle, and the heart behind your favorite brow girl


When you walk into the salon, you see the glow ups, the laughs, and the final look. But behind every brow is a journey most people don’t see.

Running a beauty business isn’t always glamorous, and I’ve learned a lot the hard way. From losing my first salon suite, to being a mom balancing late nights and early bookings, I’ve lived every season of this beauty game.

And I wouldn’t trade it. Because every lesson brought me closer to this moment: owning a luxury brow studio and salon suites, mentoring others, and creating something bigger than me. Located right in the heart of Hurst Texas!

What Most People Don’t Realize:

There’s a whole business behind the brows. A few things I’ve learned that might surprise you:


  • Beauty school teaches the skills, but not the systems

  • Most artists struggle because they lack business support

  • Many burn out trying to do it all without help


I know what that feels like because I’ve been there. And now, I’m building something for others who are there now.




Why I Mentor...and What’s Next!


I recently launched a mentorship beta program for beauty pros who need more than just talent to thrive. They need guidance, strategy, and someone who gets it.

If you’ve ever sat in my chair and felt how much I love what I do, just know I’m pouring that same energy into helping others win behind the scenes too.

What you see today at Plucked & Inked is just the beginning...


With all of that in mind, I knew this new chapter needed a name. One that captured the connection, collaboration, and growth I envision for this space!



And before I spill the details about the expansion, here’s a little backstory…


When I first started dreaming about growing my salon suites, I knew I didn’t just want to add rooms. I wanted to create a space with identity and purpose, somewhere beauty pros would feel like they were part of something bigger the moment they walked in.


That’s when the idea hit me: every suite needed to be part of a bigger vision, with a name that represented connection, growth, and opportunity. A space that wasn’t just about renting a chair, it was about building your bridge from talent to a thriving beauty business. This is more than just additional rooms, we are building a hub for creativity, collaboration, and business growth right here in our community.


And that’s how The Beauty Bridge was born…

Every time a client walks into my salon, they’re stepping into more than a beauty service, they’re stepping into a dream I’ve been building for years.


As I prepare for the next chapter of my salon suites, I knew I didn’t want these spaces to be just rooms. I wanted them to have an identity, a name that represents connection, collaboration, and growth for every beauty professional who will work here.

That’s how The Beauty Bridge was born. The name reflects my vision for a space that brings beauty pros and clients together in one place, a true one stop shop for beauty, business, and community.

Stay tuned… I can’t wait to share what’s coming next.


Whether you’re sitting in my chair or running your own business, here you’re a part of something that connects talent, opportunity, and success.
