Considering myself a colorist my entire life I’ve always gravitated to the fine arts. In 2005 I completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts from UL Lafayette and began working at an industry leading salon, here in Baton Rouge. I quickly realized that my role as manager wasn’t quite the right fit and continued on to complete an apprenticeship program to gain my license. Honoring my roots in fine art, I fell in love with hair color specifically balayage (a hand swept highlighting technique) amongst other dimensional coloring techniques. I am certified in French haircutting which compliments the versatility of balayage. Soft, sexy and seamless is my favorite to create! When I’m not behind the chair I’m learning the greatest life lessons from my two sons Cyan and Phoenix.
My journey as a mentor and educator for both KEVIN.MURPHY COLOR.ME as well as Sunlights Balayage allowed me to nurture stylists and cultivate learning. Opening Kaleidoscope in 2018 as a space for not only stylists to create but for guests also to come and grow has been one of my most aligned duties of service.

I’ve been at Kaleidoscope for almost three years now, and I’m thrilled to keep learning! Through the apprenticeship I mentored directly under Katie acquiring new skills to expand my own services and clientele. Outside of Kaleidoscope, I’m a full time student at LSU acquiring a Masters in Speech Language Pathology. I’m determined to one day combine my passions for speech therapy and hairdressing. For now, I am loving every minute of learning new things with our team!

I’m from Church Point, Louisiana and have spent the majority of my 22 year career as a stylist working in Lafayette and Baton Rouge salons. Nearly 10 of those years were spent working as a Master Stylist with and at Jude Darbonne’s Aveda concept Salon in Lafayette, Louisiana. I am a progressive yet classic stylist and I like to utilize my education, experience and creativity to enhance my clients’ individual styles. In my free time I enjoy gardening, antiquing, cooking, traveling and spending time with my little one, Miss Lily Setze, age 7. I look forward to meeting and working with you!
