Blake grew up in the salon industry. As a working stylist, her grandmother was her first role model, encouraging Blake to follow her passion and develop the skills she needed to succeed. She attended Graham Webb Academy, a leading education institution in the industry. Following graduation, she briefly taught at the Academy before joining the ESCAPE team on 2012 as a full-time stylist. Blake believes a thorough consultation is the key part of every guest's experience. Attentive listening and a detail-focused approach combined with her creativity and technical skills ensure each guest leaves feeling valued, confident and inspired. Blake will tell you she has the "best job in the world." Although her first passion is being behind the chair, she hopes to pursue opportunities to educate again in the future, growing the industry she loves. Outside of the salon, Blake is an avid traveler with a particular passion for overseas adventure.
