What does your job entail? Analyzing each client’s needs, wants and desires. I help clients achieve what they are looking for.

What is the best thing about working at Maxine? I have always loved our team. We have a great education and our clients are superb.

What is your hair specialty? I like keeping hair soft and natural, however I enjoy all aspects of color. I never want my clients to be a slave to their color.

What has been your career high? I was featured in Allure Magazine and Michigan Avenue Magazine as a top colorist.

What do you do in your free time? I am involved in animal rescue/advocacy. I volunteer for Safe Humane Chicago and Chicago Canine Rescue.

What do you never leave home without? My cell phone, my lipstick and mascara.

What is your daily hair routine? It depends on my mood. I like to switch between my natural wave or smoothing out the wave. I’m sort of a product junkie.
