Patty

Talent Stylist/ Level 1

As a little girl I always styled my Barbie’s hair and gave them hair cuts. When I was going to college for environmental engineering I got a job in a salon where I grew from receptionist to assistant, and eventually a stylist/manager…20 years and a few salons later I am still at it and have never looked back!

I am the newest member of the Portray family (started Feb ’18), and I already feel like it’s a perfect fit! I love my new home and can’t wait to grow here!

The most rewarding part of my job is seeing the look on my clients’ faces when I give them “exactly what they were looking for” even when they don’t know themselves. My career is not just about giving people a new look, but also about the connection made and being reminded we are all connected to each other in this crazy world!

Education: I never stop learning. I am always taking continuing education and am currently training to be an educator myself.
