Hi, I’m Cortney! I am a mom to three cute little boys, and married to my best friend Nate. I have been in the hair industry for 7 years in which I have had opportunities to expand my clientele in different states, and grow across 4 different markets. My joy lies behind teaching, educating, and empowering others to succeed.
