With over 25 years of experience behind the chair and training in modern color techniques, I create polished yet low-maintenance looks.

Hi! I've been a real estate investor in the Bloomington-Normal area for over a decade, focused on single-family, multi-family, and small commercial real estate. I came up with the idea for RISE Salon Suites while researching options for my step-daughter, who was nearing graduation from cosmetology school. In my opinion, a salon suite is the perfect mix of autonomy and support for beauty professionals. Let's discuss how we can help your business grow!
