Dani

A stylist since 2008, Dani graduated from Maxine’s in-house training program upon her arrival in Chicago. She loves working with hair of all lengths, from pixie cuts to long lengths, she tailors a cut to her client’s vision. Dani loves styling and cutting equally. “You know you’ve found a good stylist when you see they’re efficient, on-time multitaskers who listen to you and are good at compromising,” she says.

What is the best thing about working at Maxine? I feel very grateful for Maxine’s high standards and appreciate the architectural appeal of the salon.

What is your hair specialty? Attention to detail. Once the foundation is cut I like fine tuning with dry cutting.

Who is your dream client? My great grandmother, Gladys. I would love to show her my craft, have an hour to bond and make her feel like a gem.

What do you never leave home without? A book or magazine, lipstick, snacks and a twenty dollar bill.

Who is your style icon? Why? Linda Rodin, I’m inspired by her gray hair and spirit; Teddy Girls and 1970’s Soul Train.

What is the hair care product you cannot live without? Chronologist Deep Conditioner

What is your daily hair routine? I use dry shampoo everyday and wash every couple of days. I air dry and sometimes use a hot tool for added texture.
