It’s not a job if you love it.
Eat. Sleep. Do Hair. Repeat.
Let me introduce myself…
Hey, I’m Allison!
I have been a color specialist in Chicago for over 15 years and am even more inspired now than the first day I picked up a color brush.
I specialize in natural looking hair color that feels effortlessly modern. I could work on lived-in balayages, redheads, and dimensional lightening services all day long…and I do!
Beyond the hair, my ultimate passion is to make my clients look and feel their best!
A self-proclaimed perfectionist, I have an eye for detail and have been called meticulous on several occasions. I choose to take that as a compliment!
I apply that same care to ensure all my guests feel at home in my chair and that they can trust in my honesty, expertise, and desire to provide them with the hair of their dreams.
When I’m not obsessing over hair you’ll find me cooking up a new recipe in the kitchen, hitting a few balls on the tennis court, or feeding my Bravo TV addiction. What can I say, those housewives are entertaining!

Education is key.
I believe that you never stop learning. Staying up to date on new techniques and trends is important…and fun!
If I’m not traveling to NYC to learn the latest and greatest then I’m watching online tutorials or working on a mannequin head in my kitchen because I love what I do.
Clients can always count on me to keep current on what’s happening in the world of color but also to be looking forward to see what’s coming next.

“She’s my ride or die.”
“Allison is collaborative, adaptable, and more than anything, so meticulous. She is a true color genius and I’m so grateful our relationship started when it did! She is also so much fun to talk to—there is never awkward silence or dreaded ‘small talk.’ She genuinely cares about her clients.”
“A true color genius.”
“Not to brag but I’ve been going to Allison for 15+ years. Seriously. She’s beyond brilliant with my red hair. She pushes me when I need it and keeps me in check when I go off the edge with a color suggestion. She’s my ride or die when it comes to my hair. As long as she’s coloring, I’ll be in her seat.”
“The best in the business.”
“She is an expert colorist and does an out of this world balayage. The look she creates is so natural I can go for months (literally) without even a touch up. I always have an amazing experience and my hair always ends up looking fabulous. I couldn’t recommend anyone more for your color!”
