Izzi
Salon Coordinator ~ Content Creator ~ Assistant
Hello! My name is Izzi. I’ve been working at Mode Salon since I was 14 years old, and it was my very first job. From the beginning, I discovered a true passion for making people feel beautiful and confident in themselves. Being in the salon environment helped me realize how powerful hair can be and how meaningful this career is to me. I am especially excited to specialize in hair extensions and color, where creativity and transformation come together. I graduate from cosmetology school in November 2026 and look forward to continuing to grow my skills. I’m incredibly excited to continue my journey with Mode Salon & Wellness and be part of a team that feels like home.
