Beauty – Chicago

I'm a Master Stylist at Keema Salon in Burr Ridge (since 2009), Certified Hair Color trainer with Aveda (since 2015), and an Aveda Brand Ambassador (since 2017). My favorite hair trend now is one that is the most low maintenance for our guests. I don't think this trend is likely to go away any time soon, and it’s great because it’s less damaging to the hair. Although this is a lived-in and low maintenance look, it still looks expensive even after the guest leaves the salon. What inspires me these days as a stylist is simply the talent I see in the team I work with and what is on social media. There isn’t a day/night that I don’t spend hours on social media researching the talent that is out there. I watch countless hours of online education and then practice it. Practice is the only thing that will help us, as artists, perfect our work. Making mistakes, owning up to them, and learning from them is the best education we can give ourselves.
