Growing up and going with my mom and watching her enhance the beauty of so many lovely ladies for their wedding, inspired me to be a part of the industry from a young age. I graduated from the technology center of DuPage's Cosmetology School in 2017 and have been a part of the network since. Whether it is a Boho braided look or Hollywood waves, I can not wait to help create the look you have in mind.

Wedding hair styling has been my passion for 20 years. In the many years I have worked as a senior stylist in an upscale salon, I have gained valuable experience with all textures & lengths of hair. I'm really drawn to the beautiful composition of a perfectly presented wedding party. Together we will make the happiest day of your life, the most beautiful day of your life as well.

I have been a part of the beauty industry for over 15 years, one of my first and continued passions is the love of bridal hairstyling and creating beautiful and unique formal hair. Traveling to New York, Las Vegas, Lake Geneva, and various Chicagoland locations, I believe continuing education is the key to staying at the top of the industry.

Being a hairstylist for over 20 years, I have seen trends come and go. However, what remains the same is the joy that surrounds a special occasion, such as a wedding. It is an honor to be part of these happy moments, so I strive to give my clients a style that makes them look & feel their best. I truly love what I do and I am dedicated to making your happiness a priority.

I have been a makeup artist for ten years. I have worked for Lancome, Dior, and MAC Cosmetics, where I was also an instructor. I sort of fell into my craft those years ago but my passion for makeup and artistry is undeniable. I love what I do. My goal is to empower my clients and bridal beauty is my specialty.
