Our Story
Cumberland Beauty
Growing up in a family of cosmetologists, I always knew I wanted to build a career in the beauty industry! My journey began in 2019 through dual enrollment, where I was able to gain hands-on experience in a salon environment while completing many of the 1,500 hours required for licensure before even beginning cosmetology school.
In September 2022, I took a leap of faith and founded Cumberland Beauty. That same year, I earned my cosmetology license from TCAT–Livingston and was honored to graduate as the college’s Tennessee Board of Regents SOAR Student of the Year. Since then, I have continued to invest in continued education and specialize in professional hair and makeup, salon services, and Norvell spray tanning.
Cumberland Beauty has styled local, state, and national titleholders, as well as titleholders from across the country. My professional experience includes knowledge in pageantry, stage lighting, photography, bridal, senior sessions, and everyday glam. I am confident and comfortable in just about any setting! Let's glam!
Today, I am a graduate of The University of Tennessee at Martin, where I earned a Bachelor of Applied Arts in Dance with a minor in Mass Media and Strategic Communications. My background in dance and performance has given me a unique understanding of movement, stage presence, lighting, photography, and the little details that make a finished look feel fabulous!

Excellence and quality are at the core of what I do. I want every person who sits in my chair to leave feeling polished, confident, and completely themselves. Whether you're preparing for a wedding, stepping onto a stage, having your photo taken, or simply wanting to feel a little more like yourself, my goal is to create an experience that makes you feel empowered from the inside out.
My faith is at the root who I am and how I approach my work! I am incredibly grateful for every client who trusts me with such meaningful moments! I hope to reflect the love and light of Christ through the way I serve others! Every client is prayed for before we even meet or you sit down in my salon chair!
When I’m not behind the chair, you can usually find me...
➤ Searching for a good coffee shop
➤ Watching the sunset
➤ Enjoying time with family and friends
➤ Trying new recipes
➤ Listening to folk, beachy country, or 70's music
I am based at KB Haven Salon in Union City, Tennessee and in Cookeville, TN. I also offer travel hair & makeup and spray tanning services.
