Josie knew from a young age that hair was her passion, from doing her grandmas hair every morning at the age of 6 to high school where she would do her friends prom updos. 

After growing up in California, Josie was longing for a change so she moved with her family to Central Oregon where she would fall in love with the outdoors and follow her dreams of becoming a hair stylist. She enrolled in Phagans School of Beauty where she got licensed in hair, esthetics and nails. Josie is driven in expanding her skill set and knowledge for the hair industry. Promptly after school, in 2021 she jumped on an apprenticeship program here at Lemon Drop Salon. Here she would hone in her skills and make coloring, blonding and precision cutting her specialty. Josie makes it a priority to create a warm and welcome environment leaving every one of her guests feeling seen, confident and joyful! 

In her free time, Josie enjoys spending time with her Fiancé, friends and her cute dog Hudson. She also enjoys cooking and taking advantage of the amazing outdoors opportunities Central Oregon has to offer.
