Meet Stef
Stef’s career spans every level of the service-based and professional beauty world. She began as a hairdresser, went on to build and successfully sell a thriving salon, served as a senior leader inside a Fortune 500 beauty company, and now consults with the largest salon groups and leading global professional beauty brands.
She’s also the founder of Talent Match™, a people-first consulting firm focused on leadership, hiring, culture, and retention. Her work is grounded in her doctoral research in Organizational Leadership, and she’s the recipient of Intercoiffure’s Sans Bias Award for industry impact and service.
Stef’s voice is wise, modern, deeply human, and rooted in lived experience — not theory.
