With over two decades of experience behind the chair and a legacy as the former owner of Strands and Trends Hair Studio and Makarela Hair, I’ve dedicated my career to delivering precision, artistry, and deeply personalized service. Every client who sits in my chair is more than just an appointment — you're a unique story, a canvas, and a collaboration.
​
At Broadway Hair Loft, my new, permanent salon home in the heart of Lakeview, I’ve created a modern, boutique space where timeless beauty meets personal transformation. Specializing in precision cuts, dimensional color, and signature balayage, I bring an elevated level of detail and care to every look — from lived-in blondes and rich brunettes to sleek men’s styles and nourishing treatments like keratin and glossing.
​
My passion for growth and innovation has taken me around the globe, attending elite workshops and runway shows to stay on the pulse of cutting-edge technique. I bring that knowledge back to you — combining artistry with purpose to craft a style that feels authentically you.
​
Fluent in English, Russian, and Ukrainian, I proudly serve a diverse clientele, creating a welcoming environment that’s grounded in trust, luxury, and lasting relationships.
​
This is more than a salon. This is where expertise meets artistry, and where you’ll always feel like you belong.
Let’s create something beautiful — together.
