Courtney was inspired to do hair all through high school while messing with all of her friends hair and has always been interested in art. Hair became her "medium" (especially color) and she decided to follow her dreams to become a hairstylist.
In 2004 Courtney was awarded Nashville Scenes "Best Hip Haircut" award.
In 2012 she became a Redken Artist
Celebrity styles she admires: Christina Hendricks, Zooey Deschanel, Emma Stone, and Ginnifer Goodwin.
"I love doing hair and I love teaching others about hair, whether it is the guest in my chair, my associate working beside me, or the students in my classes. I also thrive on learning from those around me."
"Someone once said 'The minute you stop educating yourself, you should quit' and I will never forget that."
Courtney's passions outside of work are: music, travel, art, and her family
