From obtaining her degree in Business Management at Austin Peay State University to obtaining her Cosmetology license at the Aveda Institute Nashville as well as her Natural Hair license, Simone has established a name for herself in the beauty industry as a textured hair coach and an expert at transitioning and coaching her clients into healthier hair with style. She is currently furthering her education by training to become a "PhD" - a Professional Hair Doctor -, better known as a Certified Trichologist; a person who specializes in hair and scalp care and the treatment of conditions associated with hair loss and thinning. 

As a successful salon owner of Heart for Hair Salon as well as a celebrity hair stylist, her heart for hair goes beyond being behind the chair. Simone is a true entrepreneur at heart, launching her first hair and body care line, Cecilia Pearl, in 2020 as well as her blog ,Abide and Ride, in 2021. Though she loves being an entrepreneur, her greatest passion comes from seeing women grow and flourish mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and relationally. She has a passion for seeing people win in every area of their life! She finds great joy in helping others discover and define their "why" in order to create and build an intentional life of purpose that you don't need a vacation from.
