Danae fell in love with hair as a young girl, starting with barbies as her canvas, then herself, and her friends. At 19 she started at Rudy and Kelly Academy, a Paul Mitchell partner school. In her time there she got the opportunity to work with Angus Mitchell and his team at the Fashion Focus hair show in Baltimore. 

Over the past 16 years Danae has worked in New York, Massachusetts, and her home state of Virginia. She worked with the elderly doing hair in a nursing home for two years. Danae now calls Changes City Spa home and has been there for four years. It was through Changes that she discovered the BCH and began her certification in 2022. Officially becoming a Board Certified Haircolorist in January 2023. 

Danae considers her BCH certification one of her greatest accomplishments in her career and feels lucky to have joined the BCH team as an assessor. 

In her spare time Danae enjoys spending time with her son, her fiance, and their three cats, as well as quilting and gardening.
