This is Born & Bred.
Beauty Services. Handmade Goods. Exploration of Self.
Find yourself & be that.
Born and Bred salon/studio is a multi-purpose space that is home to my workbench, single-chair salon & a handful of my own history; including my art, family heirlooms, mementos & meaningful things I have collected along the way.
This business is the fruit of my own self-discovery & finding that almost all of the things I find joy in doing for work have a direct connection to my lineage. This understanding has helped me connect to what came before me & provides space for my own personal growth. My studio space helps facilitate an environment where my clients can do the same through different art forms & beauty services.
A lot of my art uses items I have collected or found to make a multitude of goods. This includes home decor, resin preserved jewelry, wearable art & sewn bags, blankets & pouches. My focus is to use materials that are bound for the garbage or deemed useless in hopes that it will help us find new perspective in what we have & find beauty in objects we would otherwise skim over.
The name Born & Bred comes from a simple notion: This is who I am.
It is more than the city I’m from, more than the jobs I’ve had; more than the people I’ve crossed paths with.
The name is about who you are too. You are who you are because of where you’ve been. You can embody elements of your past that make you feel powerful, or grant the space to learn something new about yourself. You are born & bred to be exactly who you are.
Let’s Work Together.
