Tess has been in the cosmetology industry since 2000. After completing 1200 hours in Florida during high school and becoming licensed right before graduating, her passion for the industry led her back to her home town of Chicago. Tess attended a Pivot Point school where she attended the Cosmetology course for an additional 300 hours, then being licensed in Illinois as well. In Chicago she assisted the owner of a top Salon and Day spa; there is where she began to learn additional advanced techniques & attention to detail. Tess later moved back to Florida where she managed & coordinated some of the leading salons in the area, to then open her own establishment. During these years Tess had taken numerous advanced classes continuing her education to learn the latest trends and techniques, traveling from New York City to Las Vegas to become certified in such things as a Master Colorist. Tess's passion & talent brought her to Miami where she became the South Florida Educator & National Platform Artist for Hotheads Hair Extensions, a leading extension company in modern & advanced technique. While gaining a stellar reputation within the industry, Tess was referred to the fashion industry where she was head stylist for many fashion shows, photo shoots, editorials, film and media work. In late 2009 Tess relocated to Palm Beach County where she was offered a position of lead stylist in an elite Palm Beach salon, after being behind the chair for a few years she decided to work privately and began freelancing. Tess decided she wanted to create something different in Palm Beach County where her high profile clients could discretely go for their Hair Extensions, Color Services & Formal Event HairStyling & Make up. Tess opened an Exclusive Salon & Hair Extension Studio in Jupiter-Abacoa 2012. Tess created a private and personal atmosphere where her guests have a one on one experience. Tess's clients include local celebrities as well as A-listers, Palm Beach Socialites & South Florida Fashionista's. Tess is also the head stylist at Blue Water Salon at Admirals Cove, for all of the inclusive weddings and also a stylist for Soir-a, a leading event planning company of South Florida. Tess remains extremely professional and experienced, humble without ego & talent that makes YOU look fabulous!
