BECAUSE YOUR HAIR SHOULD LAST ALL DAMN DAY
WEDDINGS + EVENTS

My hair did not change one bit the day of my wedding. It was 4th of July and 95 degrees and full humidity!! The amount of compliments I got about my hair and the “your hair still looks perfect with this humidity” was crazy!

Not only did my hair look absolutely stunning, but it lasted all night—even through the crazy Chicago humidity and a mid-June heat wave. I got so many compliments, and my hair held up beautifully from start to finish.

-------------------HAIRSTYLING IN THE CHICAGO SUBURBS | THROUGHOUT ILLINOIS, WISCONSIN, & MICHIGAN.

ROMANTIC & FRIZZ-FREE HAIRSTYLES—THINK SOFT, FLUFFY, SHOW-STOPPING GLAM WAVES THAT TURN HEADS.

Glam waves  -  Fluffy waves - Trendy Half Ups - Ponytails - Soft Updos

Here’s what I’m known for:

​

  • Romantic, lived-in waves that actually stay put

  • Turning flat, fine hair into "wait, is that all her hair?"

  • Strategic use of extensions for volume, hold, and jaw-drop factor (not optional, just iconic)

  • Styles that look expensive because they are—in technique, time, and obsession level

​

​

You already know what you want:

Hair that doesn’t move unless you do. Waves that survive sweat, hugs, humidity, happy tears, and your fifth espresso martini.

You’re not here for “soft glam that fell flat by photos.” You’re here for the main-character hair that's built to last all damn day.

​​​

What you get when you book me:

 

  • A stylist who cares more about your hair lasting than you care about your reception menu

  • Zero fluff, zero guessing—just honest expert guidance on what will make you look insane (in the best way)

  • Someone who will tell you if you need extensions, not “suggest” them

  • Peace of mind that once your hair is done, it’s set—not a single curl is clocking out early

 

 

If this sounds like your vibe:

You love a little glam, and you want to feel like yourself—but with better, fuller hair than you’ve ever had in your life. You want the luxury look without the theatrics, long-wear without the helmet head, and a stylist who’s calm, loves a Housewives franchise, dog-friendly (obsessed), and fully committed to ensuring your hair stays perfect until the last guest stumbles out.

 

That’s what I do.

FAQ

EVERYONE ASKS ⤵

Q1_CAN YOU REALLY MAKE MY HAIR LAST ALL NIGHT?

SURE CAN. AS LONG AS YOU FOLLOW MY GUIDANCE AND RECOMMENDATIONS, AND KEEP AUNT CAROL'S HANDS OFF YOUR HAIR, IT'LL LAST.

​

Q2_DO YOU WORK WITH EXTENSIONS?

OF COURSE! HOW ELSE WOULD I GET THOSE PINTEREST-WORTHY HAIRSTYLES? CLIP-IN EXTENSIONS ARE PREFERRED OVER ANY OTHER APPLICATION. THEY CAN EASILY BE PLACED WHERE NEEDED TO ENHANCE YOUR STYLE. 80% OF MY PORTFOLIO YOU SEE ARE UTILIZING EXTENSIONS.

​

Q3_CAN YOU STYLE MORE THAN YOUR Maximum?

SORRY, NO. CURRENT HAIRSTYLES ARE GETTING MORE DETAILED AND NEED MORE TIME TO LOOK RIGHT AND LAST. PLUS, THE MORE I ADD ON, THE EARLIER YOUR START TIME IS, AND NOBODY WANTS THAT.

 

IF YOU HAVE A LARGER GROUP AND OVER MY MAX, WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS.

MAY HAVE A SECOND STYLIST, DEPENDING ON THEIR AVAILABILITY.

OR

MANY CLIENTS WILL BOOK MY MINIMUM OR MAXIMUM FOR THE DAY AND BOOK THE REMAINDER OF SERVICES (SEPARATELY) WITH MY PREFERRED HAIR VENDOR LIST.​
