As editor in chief/beauty director of American Salon, I report on all aspects of the professional beauty industry, including seasonal hair trend collections, up-to-the-minute techniques, salon business-building strategies, what's new in pop culture, noteworthy salon/day spa services and products, as well as timely issues impacting manufacturers, schools, salons and distributors that range from education to going green. I also travel throughout the U.S. and abroad, sourcing out new trends and representing American Salon at major industry functions and premier educational events such as IBS New York and Haircolor USA.
