inspired by mom

Even as a kid, Tori knew she wanted to be a stylist. Any chance she got, she was in her mom's salon watching her create beautiful hair. Tori's first mentor was her mom and she continues to learn from her to this day as they work alongside each other in the salon Tori now owns. She got a jumpstart on her career at an early age, receiving her state cosmetology license when still in high school. After that, Tori trained with a couple of talented stylists (one being her mom) and continued to take her education seriously, growing and perfecting her skills to gain her dream clientele. She credits The Foundation Method with transforming her career, providing her the opportunity to work with hair extensions and giving her clients a huge boost in self confidence. "I've trained with amazing people and they've inspired my career. I hope I can be someone that can educate/help others when needed."

"I am very thankful that I have a career that is so rewarding."- Tori S.

the people
are the best part

Like many in the hair industry, Tori has seen so many women struggle with low confidence and she loves shining a light on their beauty. She truly loves making others happy. "What I like most about being a stylist is how fun the job is and all the connections I get to make with people. There are not many jobs that get to help others feel beautiful, take pretty photos, travel and create friendships all over the world. I have met some of my favorite people just from my job as a stylist." Tori loves participating in education opportunities as a student and as a teacher. "Creating how-to videos is a great way for me to connect with people and help out. In just a short video, I can help others learn something new or guide them to finally grasp a skill they might've been struggling with."

she won’t tell
you’re wearing extensions

"When it comes to hair extensions, the skill I am most proud of is the way I can do a custom color blend without using any hair color. This way I am able to show off my creativity with color, while also protecting my guests' investments on their hair extensions by not using hair color on them." She's also good at cut blending, making every look seamless, so no one can tell the guest has hair extensions. Tori specializes in The Foundation Method, using this hair extension installation method exclusively. "I love every aspect of The Foundation Method and what it can do for the health of natural hair."
