I have loved doing hair since I was little and have always enjoyed the business side of it. After 15 years in the industry I decided to follow my dreams and open Ahava Salon and Spa. Having dreams come true is something I wish everyone can experience someday!

I am passionate about making people feel beautiful and confident. Part of this amazing industry is the education. My on-going education has taken me as close as Chicago, and as far as New York and even Spain.

Keeping up with trends and fashion is very important to me to help my guest have the look they want!

Making people look and feel beautiful, that’s what we do every day! What an amazing career to have and I have had the privilege to do it for the past 9 years. Through a thorough consultation and educating my clients I am able to meet my guests’ needs and achieve their personal one of a kind look. I pride myself on making everyone who sits in my chair feel comfortable, welcome, and leave feeling fabulous!

I am trained in advanced haircutting and design, coloring, and extensions. Continuing my education to provide you your custom look is very important to me. My training has allowed me to be able to freelance for weddings, photoshoots, and some television work. I love doing bridal hair and helping young women feel beautiful for their prom.
I can’t wait to tailor a beautiful look just for you!

I have been in the beauty industry for over 3 years but have had a love for hair since I was a little girl. I believe this is what I’m meant to do. The best part of my job is that it doesn’t feel like a job, it’s my love, passion, and I get to learn something new every day.

I love getting to know my guests and make them feel beautiful. Seeing the vision come to life, and my guests leaving the salon more confident makes my day! I love doing bridal hair, highlighting, and long layered cuts among many other things, and enjoying combining my guests ideas with my own to create the best look for them!
“Beauty isn’t about looking perfect, it’s about celebrating your individuality.”

Making people look and feel beautiful, and confident has always been important to me. I grew up watching my mom and her love for hair which inspired me to follow in her footsteps. So in 2003 I started my career which quickly became my passion!

I love to learn and grow, and continue to take classes to do just that! I keep up on the latest techniques and trends so I can always bring you a fresh look. Not only do I take advantage of all the in salon training I am provided, but I travel throughout the midwest as well.

I can’t wait to meet you!

I am always striving to learn new and innovative ways to keep my clients up to date and looking and feeling their best. I have great passion for creating beautiful and customized looks for each one of my guests in the salon.

I also give the tools and knowledge to be able to recreate this look in their day-to-day lives, while ensuring my art and their hair stays vibrant and healthy between visits. I will always truly listen to the wants and need of every one of my guests, yet educate them as to the best look to compliment their face shape, skin tone, and lifestyle.

I also love doing hair and makeup for film, television, editorial and weddings.
Making people feel confident and beautiful is the best part of my job.
In my freetime I love to be active; fitness and nutrition are a huge part of my life.

I have been doing nails since 2010. My education started at The Salon Professional Academy, and I also had advanced training with Shellac Nail Polish.

My specialities are pedicures, manicures, and nail art.
My mission is to tend to all my guests’ nail needs, while they relax.

I have been a hairstylist for a little over 3 years now, and with each passing day my passion for the industry continues to grow. My favorite thing is to figure out what is going to make my guest feel their most beautiful and confident, and then to make your hair dreams come true!

I also love the art of making your nails look beautiful. I continue to take classes to better myself and would love to share what I learn with you.
All of my guests have my promise that when they leave my chair they will have a beautiful new look and all of the knowledge they need to recreate their new style in the comfort of their own home.

I have been doing hair for 10 years and have loved every minute. My education started at The Salon Professional Academy, but I continue to learn and grow. I have taken classes in Milwaukee and Chicago, and also did advanced training at The Redken Exchange in New York. I also did a 5 day job shadow at Sam Bracado Salon in New York.

Areas of my career that I love and specialize in are bobs, short hair, long layer, highlights, and coloring.

My career brings something new everyday. I love working with my clients to achieve a look that makes them feel beautiful.

I have been in love with hair since I was 6 years old and 8 years ago I decided to stop playing with hair and pursue my dream. Now I get the opportunity to meet amazing people and make their hair visions a reality.

I love all things hair but special occasion styles, color, and extensions are my top three favorite things to do. Kinky/curly hair? No problem! I would love to give you tips and tricks to own those curls!

I look forward to seeing you soon!
