Sophia’s love for the hair and beauty industry started at a very young age when she would give her father haircuts at home. It took many years later for her to discover her true passion was in cosmetology. After graduating from the University of California, Davis with a major in Psychology and a minor in Human Development she worked with at risk children for many years and for a travel company where she got to travel to several countries. She later decided she wanted to pursue her dream of becoming a hairstylist. She loves her career as a stylist and is infatuated with all aspects of the industry; from ongoing education, being creative, meeting interesting people, building relationships, making people feel beautiful, and so much more.

After obtaining her cosmetologist license in 2011 she did an extensive apprenticeship program at an Aveda Lifestyle salon in Napa, California where she was taught Vidal Sassoon cutting techniques and Aveda color. She also attended many advanced education classes within the Aveda network to develop her color and cutting skills. Sophia believes in continual education and strives to stay at the forefront of her field. She is also certified in Keratin Complex Smoothing Treatments.

In 2016 she welcomed her daughter Farrah into the world and loves the adventures of being a mother.
