Chicagoland based Professional Hair and Makeup Artistry

I knew I was bound to work in the beauty industry from a young age, even wanting to own my own hair salon at one point. After graduating with a Bachelors degree in Marketing and spending almost a decade in the corporate world, my dream started to become a reality when I began doing freelance makeup for bridal and special events once I achieved my License of Esthetics in 2016. Though I am no longer working in a corporate office, I am still using the skills I learned to develop and grow my business.
I specialize in looks that enhance your features with special attention to the eyes (love a glam eye!). Although I tend to gravitate towards makeup looks on the glamorous side, I have a strong love for clean beauty, editorial or Halloween-inspired looks. What started for a love of makeup and skin, turned into a love of hair styling in 2018. Hair styling provides me with constant challenges and growth both personally and professionally. Every head of hair is different and needs different forms of care - I take pride in my ability to serve ALL cultures, skin-types and hair textures. Working with all walks of life has been so valuable to me. Textured updos are my favorite style to create for my bridal and special event clients!
What can you expect when you book your services with me? Prompt, direct and professional communication. A well-stocked kit with high-end items that are visually pleasing, well organized and ALWAYS sanitized between each client. A hype-woman that wants you to feel nothing short of the stunning, strong and intelligent woman that you are (I already know you're a smart gal, because you booked with me after all!) Don't let this crazy hair and minimal makeup on my face fool you - I know how to deliver the look you want for any occasion.
