While in school, she began working in a hair salon at age 14 and fell in love with the industry.

Favorite Quote:
 
"Be water, my friend. 
 
"I don’t know who I should thank Bruce Lee or my Father. Daddi-o would be happy to hear I chose this quote. He loves to say this. He has had a very positive influence on how I look at the world, I am certain he is not aware of how much. Our long talks as a late teen, early twenties about philosophy and all different religions, leading me to a journey of Buddhism. He’s a great guy, you should meet him. "Be water” empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. That is a truth.  Be simultaneously without form and every form possible. No resistance. Adapt." - Tatum
