Noemi has 30 years experience as a stylist and has worked in many different aspects of this industry. She trained with the Vidal Sassoon Academy in LA and Toni and Guy in Dallas. She has been an owner, an educator in cutting and styling, she has led apprenticeship programs, and has done photo shoot work for hair magazines.

After moving to Bellingham from Olympia WA, she found Sandalwood Salon as a client first. She feels Sandalwood has created an atmosphere that is not only welcoming but relaxing with an experienced group of stylists. When the idea of becoming part of the Sandalwood team was brought up, she “jumped at the opportunity, Sandalwood is a great community to be a part of”.

As a stylist, she enjoys making people feel good, not only about their hair but their experience in the chair. “I love creating a style and look for clients through a genuine conversation that makes them feel like a sassy version of themselves. One of my favorite quotes that is attributed to Oscar Wilde is “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken””

Outside of the salon you will find her spending time with her husband and kids including the 4 legged ones. She loves to run, cook, work in her garden and travel.
