why "elite"?
When searching for a name that would represent our goal to gather only the highest skilled and most talented Chicagoland luxury bridal hair and makeup artists, “Elite” came back to us again and again. When booking with us, you can take comfort in knowing the most high end stylists in the area are working on you.
In the future, we look forward to expanding to even more “collective” services for brides, businesses, groups, and more.
GET TO KNOW THE FOUNDERS
I grew up in St. Charles, Illinois and currently reside in Cary, Illinois with my daughter Alanis and our cat, Millie. I'm the middle child of 3 girls. I realized early on that special occasion, high end styling was my strength. It flourished into something that challenged me and something that I felt I needed to pursue as a career. I have been a licensed Cosmetologist since 2006. My passion is educating other bridal hair stylists and being a part of making brides look and feel exquisite on their wedding day.
