Hi there I'm Marina! I am a licensed cosmetologist in central Virginia that loves all things fun, beautiful, and HAIR! People come from all over to see me, I mainly serve Richmond, but also see ladies from Chesterfield, Midlothian, Mechanicsville, and even as far as DC and Maryland! I'm so thankful for everyone that chooses me as their stylist! I've got a passion for making things beautiful; an artist at heart, I chose hair and makeup as my main mediums as a young teen, years before I ever stepped foot in my first Cosmetology class. I put in the time and effort to teach myself, and then once I understood the true science and art behind hair dressing, there was no stopping me! Now my main motivation is my daughter, I want to show her you can do anything if you put your heart into it, and here I am with my own studio!
EDUCATION
Before graduating with my Cosmetology license in June 2012, I spent two years learning from, in my opinion, one of the best instructors, at Hermitage Technical Center, where I also placed 1st in the Cosmetology Skills Disctrict Competition and went on to compete at the State level! This gave me a strong structure and basis to continue to hone my skills to the point I am at today! But the education never stops, I am constantly researching and staying up to date with the latest techniques and finding new and better ways to achieve beautiful results!

COMPANIES I LOVE

OLAPLEX
I don't ever recommend a lightening service without adding this liquid gold! I use Schwarzkopf BLONDME lightener, an incredibly effective yet gentle product, but damage is ineveitable. Until now at least. Olaplex will erase damage before it ever has a chance to be created! I also carry Olaplex No. 3 take home treatment, to help strengthen your hair between color services.
