Ali's passion for hair began at a young age when she would invite her friends over to her grandma's house for playful sessions of "hair salon." She would give her friends full makeovers, igniting her creative spark. Throughout high school, during the era of MySpace, Ali embraced her role as a scene queen, cutting and coloring her friends' hair, much to the chagrin of their parents. It was during this time that she realized her true calling and knew that she wanted to pursue a career as a hairstylist.

In her spare time, she indulges in her love for baking and exploring DIY fashion projects, embracing her creative spirit beyond the salon walls.
