As the Founder and Executive Chairwoman of Beauty Affair LI, I have created some of the most coveted events in the Long Island beauty realm. I have orchestrated experiences like Beauty Affair Bougie Brunch, a soirée graced by Bravo celebrities, including Sonja Morgan and Melissa Gorga. The crown jewel of my endeavors is the Long Island Beauty Awards, an exclusive formal gala uniting the beauty industry across Long Island. I am getting ready to unveil the Long Island Beauty Expo, an exposition tailored for end clients, promising unique engagement with the beauty world. Beauty Affair LI serves as an informative platform to most and a powerful marketing platform to businesses, uniting professionals and enthusiasts alike, reaffirming my commitment to celebrating the beauty landscape with glamour and community spirit. 

Worked in industry for 15+ years  

Corporate Salon Management + Nationwide Training/Operations Management  

My hope is to elevate the beauty industry on Long Island, share undiscovered talent, empower women in the industry and support local salon and spas across the island. 

 I am passionate with helping others become their best selves inside and out.  The Beauty Board is an amazing opportunity to work with like minded others in this industry.  

 I have been in the Beauty industry since 1995.  A Physician Associate practicing General and Cosmetic Dermatology since 2003.   

 My journey in the Cosmetic industry began with the exciting era of Botox's initial FDA approval. At that time, conversations about these procedures were discreet and somewhat taboo. I've witnessed the transformative journey from injecting Botox between eyebrows and dermal filler exclusively in cheeks and lips for a youthful touch. Initially, these procedures were sought after by those reentering the workforce or diving back into the dating scene. Now, the art of injecting neurotoxin and dermal filler allows for natural sculpting, lifting, and rejuvenation, achieving a subtle, unnoticeable enhancement. It's incredibly fulfilling to be part of this transformative process, helping individuals feel and look youthful while embracing overall wellness. Offering a confidence boost and enhancing natural beauty is what I love to do for my patients. 

 Over 30 years

 Passionate, creative, and dedicated, I am a highly skilled hair stylist, salon owner, and extensions expert. My commitment to both my craft and the development of emerging talent within the industry is fervent. With over 30 years of experience, I have honed in on my expertise in hairstyling, specializing in extensions, transforming my clients look and boosting their confidence. As the proud owner of LuxCity Hair Salon , located in Huntington, I have cultivated a reputation for excellence in customer service and innovation. Beyond my work behind the chair, I am deeply passionate about education and mentorship. I take great pride in nurturing the skills of younger stylists, sharing my knowledge, techniques, and industry insights. 

 My passion to help improve the relationships between stylist, salon owners and salons as a whole. Create collaborations and bring the community together to create better service experiences for clients and bring awareness to many services on the market. 

 That’s a tough one .  I guess when I dyed my hair Ronald McDonald red and and then Jet black in the same week. It took me a year to get my hair back to a brown with blonde highlights wirh out jeopardizing the integrity of my hair.   I had about 15 different hair colors in that year getting back to me.
