All about Cindy......

I have always been creative, spontaneous, witty, feisty, with a wicked sense of humor, and a really soft heart. Being of service to others and making the world more beautiful makes my heart happy!
After traveling the world as a Master Hairdresser - working with some amazing talent, owning multiple salons and training more novices that I can count.  I now enjoy working alone, where I can combine all of my heart-centered , creative work in one space.
 My name is Cindy Monten - creating beauty is both my passion and my purpose.

I continue to love my craft of hair design and now focus that part of my work primarily on haircuts and color. I love how changing the shape and color can not only create beauty but can also improve a persons confidence!

After experiencing Reiki is Energy Work myself, I was inspired to learn and share the positive effects of this ancient alternative healing modality. My  Reiki Masters Certificate was earned at the The Meta Institute and I have added chakra clearing, energy-work to my service offerings.

Creative writing has always been a source of inner peace for me. "The Birth of Wonderment" was my first book. It reads a bit like a fairy tale but is a true story, of painful experience  which launched a deep personal transformation, and led me to live a creatively joyful life.
 A second book is in the works,  so stay tuned!

I am "the idea girl " and create with a broad brush, beyond the services I have listed above to an expansive array of services including furniture restoration, interior design, blog editor and website creation. The word Alchemist is how I often describe myself because it refers to conjuring up something from nothing. Creativity is how I shine my light!

 Cindy Monten~Art & Beauty is a charming home to all of my creative endeavors. From my services as a Reiki Master, to Mixed Media Artist, Hair Designer and Creative Consultant.
The studio is my playroom and creativity lab!On occasion it becomes a unique space for cozy gatherings, book signings, trunk shows and workshops.
I am living a charmed life- creating beauty, doing the work that I love,
for people I love, in a community I love. Check out my endorsements  - come see me!

Stay in the Light!
Love,
Cindy

Meet My Inspiration....

Meet Zoe, my muse & biggest fan, Director of Social Media and most important my daughter and my favorite human in all the universe! She is the "why" behind all I do.
I hope that by bravely crafting a life that aligns with my soul, makes my heart sing and utilizes my natural  talents and creates freedom and flexibility in my days- will inspire her to continue to honor the only two"rules" I have ever set down for her.
1) "follow your heart and use good wisdom in all you do"   
​ 2) "Find what makes you happiest and do a lot of that!"
