Leopold Men’s Salon

With over 18 years of experience in the salon industry, I have established myself as a dedicated professional. My journey began at the esteemed Aveda Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee, where I received comprehensive training that ignited my unwavering passion for the male grooming segment. In 2005, I embarked on my career at Groom for Men, where I honed my skills and gained invaluable hands-on experience. In June 2010, I joined the prestigious American Crew Education Team, further expanding my horizons and cementing my position as a recognized industry expert. Five years later, my dedication and proficiency led to my promotion as an International AllStar Educator, a testament to my exceptional capabilities.

Education remains at the core of my being, as I strongly believe in empowering others to unleash their full potential and become the epitome of excellence. It brings me immense satisfaction to guide individuals in refining their craft and witnessing their growth. This enduring passion continues to thrive through Leopold Men’s Salon, where I strive to elevate industry standards and provide unparalleled grooming experiences. Join me on this extraordinary journey as we unlock the true potential of every individual and redefine the art of men’s grooming.

Born and raised in Wausau, I’ve spent my life building both my craft and my community. I raised my two daughters there, now 20 and 25, while dedicating the past 20 years to the hair industry. My journey began in salons, expanded into instructing at a local cosmetology school, and later included serving as a state board evaluator for licensing.

About 15 years ago, I transitioned into barbering, working in both chain and locally owned shops before taking the leap into ownership—running my own barbershop for the past decade. I have a true passion for people to look and feel their best, and I take pride in precision, connection, and creating an experience that builds confidence. I’m excited to bring that passion and experience to Leopold Men’s Salon.

Outside of work, I enjoy hiking with my husband and our German Shepherd, traveling whenever we can, and escaping Wisconsin winters when possible. I also love staying active, whether it’s tennis or other forms of exercise.

After graduating Cosmetology school I quickly fell in love with men’s hair and found my first home at Groom for Men in Milwaukee! There I received advanced haircut training from Crystal and have been perfecting my skills every day since. I am beyond excited to join the team at Leopold to work beside and continue learning from the best! In my free time, I like to play video games, cook and go on walks.

I have always had a love for the beauty industry and have gravitated towards men’s grooming. I was in the hospitality industry for over 28 years when I decided to take my business of loving people, behind the chair. I am so excited to learn and grow with this beautiful team of people. When I am not working, you can find me planning my next excursion and researching cool spots to dine. I also love a good dive bar, food, and travel.

I have been in the customer service field for 15+ years, from an EMT to a Culinary Director and now managing the salon. I enjoy going on hikes with my family, watching movies, and anything coffee!!
