Mackenzie Hughes

Beauty – Philadelphia

\" I dreamed of a thousand paths, I woke up and walked my own\" - 2010 was the scariest but most liberating year for me. After 10 years of working in high end salons in Philadelphia as a stylist and an educator I walked out from \"behind the chair\" and ventured off into the Freelance world. I used my passion to guide me into a new chapter in my career, forming Mack Stylist LLC. In August of 2010, I entered a nationwide competition for KMS. In October, I flew out to LA and competed against other gifted stylists and won the title of KMS \"2010 Stylist Session Award\". That title was validation for me that I chose the right path. Soon after returning I expanded Mack Stylist LLC to include weddings. Mack stylist won Brides Choice Award from both The Knot & Wedding Wire in 2011. I now have seven employees! I have been very blessed to work with amazingly talented artists in LA , New York & Philadelphia. My Editorial and Commercial work has been published in: Glass book Magazine, Auxiliary Magazine, Dark Beauty, Behind The Chair, Ladies Home Journal, New Jersey Monthly & AARP. “I love the balance in the freelance world. From Brides to photo shoots; every day is different and exciting”
