From a very young age, Caidy found a sense of calmness within hair styling and braiding. What started as creating unique hair designs on Caidy's own hair, then stemmed to offering updos for her sisters and friends attending school dances, a variety of ponytail looks to cheerleaders for their competitions, and intricate braids for the football/basketball players to wear during their games. Although she loved all things hair related, a decision was made to pursue another avenue, to which was sports writing. One day, while in class, the professor asked Caidy what her true passion was in life. At that moment, it clicked - hair. She left her writing ambitions behind and enrolled in cosmetology school the very next day, never looking back.
 
Embarking on a new journey, Caidy was eager and excited to share with others her goal of becoming a Styling and Braiding Specialist. Unfortunately, the feedback received when expressing this was less than desirable, referencing how she would "never make it as a specialist in such areas, because that’s not what people go to cosmetology school to become." Determined to turn passion into purpose, the opinions of others were not enough to force Caidy in a different direction. Fast forward 15+ years where Caidy is beyond honored and proud to be an Award Winning Hair Artist, Salon Owner and Industry Educator.
