I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over 15 years and have participated in television, film, print, runway and pageant make up for the same length of time.  I have developed my own technique for beauty glamour make -up to achieve a flawless, captivating look!
I work to understand the needs of the clients and to develop a unique style and look for each one of them.
My passion for hair styling began when I was 12 years old and cut my own hair for the first time. It looked so much better than I could have expected and I haven't looked back since. I have worked as a stylist in the Chicagoland area for over 15 years. I have had the good fortune to have worked  and trained with some of the industries most notable talents and  truly exceptional professionals. 
I was trained in Hollywood in airbrush make-up for over eight years. 
I have been certified in fusion extensions for over 9 years.
I am a specialist in extensions, smoothing, dimensional color, highlights, blonding, haircutting, and styling.
