Trained at the Paul Mitchell School in Schenectady in 2010 and shortly after going on to work as an educator for Kemon, Audrey believes learning never ends—that hair is an ever evolving medium. Fortunately her career has lead her to focus on non toxic hair color, experience in the heart of using henna. she specializes in curly hair.
