FOUNDER/STYLIST

Cera has always had an admiration for art, overall aesthetics, and communication. Her loyalty to all three translated into the industry at a young age when she moved to Chicago and studied Cosmetology at the Aveda Institute. Cera’s commitment to providing excellence in service grew through her experience in restaurants and eventually landed her a position at Salon Buzz in Chicago’s gold coast, where she continued her career in styling as a design apprentice. As a business owner and through multiple endeavors, her energy for the industry grows continually through clients needs and entrepeneurship, luxury skincare and cosmetics, education and fashion. Her admiration for other artists inspires her to always expand and adapt, allowing her to offer an ever-evolving product and experience, while maintaining a family like and inviting space for both staff and clients — topping it off with making them laugh, of course. *Cera is only currently taking referrals of existing clients

Stylist

Korlia started in this industry was to see more people like me in the salon. I was always the go-to friend when it came to anything beauty related. I found myself keeping up with the new makeup trends and techniques, along with interesting ways to style hair. What about the industry that really inspires me to is seeing people's faces light up when helping them feel beautiful. I love letting my clients take the lead when it comes to the vibe of their appointment and am always down to talk all things food.

‘As an artist with a bit of experience, I still consider myself new and eager to learn, loving all aspects of doing hair. I lean towards both curated layered and traditional highlights along with open-air balayage’.
