Senior stylist at Salon Mario Russo
The basics: I’m very creative and artistic. Whether I’m working at the salon or doing editorial work, fashion shows or DIY projects at home, I love working with my hands to make something.
Career highlight: Being part of the L’Oreal team at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. I had the opportunity to style hair for designers like Jason Wu, Monique Lhuillier, Phillip Lim and Tory Burch.
Don’t judge: As creepy as it sounds, I love to people watch; you can sit back and see the world from a completely different angle.
Celebrity crush: Hands down, Jared Leto. It started with My So-Called Life, so basically I was 8. To me, he looks like a badass Jesus.
Craziest thing she’s done for love: I was invited to go on a ski trip in the Italian Alps. One little problem: I didn’t know how to ski. I said yes anyway and frantically learned how to ski in three months.
Biggest dating disaster: I went on a date with a guy who had three credit cards declined, so I paid the bill. He was really embarrassed.
Trend alert: I’m really into the “man bun” right now.
Her idea of romance: Someone who pays attention to the little things. It is so nice when a guy remembers your favorite bottle of wine, the food you like or a movie that makes you laugh. Extravagant gifts and trips are nice, but don’t last like a simple gesture.
