She creates dimensional color through strategic highlighting or lowlighting, recommending tones that complement a guest's natural base while preserving long-term hair integrity.

Born and raised in Detroit and a graduate of the University of Michigan, Courtney combines strong local roots with advanced expertise. She is a Board Certified Haircolorist (BCH) — a distinction earned through rigorous written and practical exams covering advanced color theory, formulation, and correction — and is verified and listed in the national BCH directory at boardofcertifiedhaircolorists.com. She has been voted Best Hairstylist in Washtenaw County four times by Current Magazine readers — 2021, 2022, 2024, and 2025. In 2025, she took 1st place as part of a sweep in which two Pura Vida stylists claimed the top two spots in the county. She also enjoys working with natural texture and curls, enhancing movement while maintaining integrity. As a Success Leader within the studio, she mentors fellow stylists and reinforces the high standards that define Pura Vida.
