Hello, friends!

My name is Ilona, and I’m a licensed cosmetologist with a deep passion for creating beautiful, wearable hair. While I’ve specialized in balayage, lived-in dimensional color, highlights, gray coverage, and haircutting for many years, I’m now focusing exclusively on what I love most—haircutting! From precision cuts to soft, textured layers and everything in between, my goal is to help you feel confident, refreshed, and effortlessly styled.

I received my training through Toni & Guy at the Steven Papageorge Hair Academy in Chicago, and I’ve taken dozens of advanced education courses in cutting techniques, color theory, and hair chemistry. I’m always learning and evolving, and that same energy is now fueling a new passion project...

I’m thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of my women’s boutique, both online and inside my cozy home salon, located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Brandon, Florida! The boutique will feature carefully curated pieces that reflect my personal style—feminine, fun, and effortlessly chic. Whether you're coming in for a haircut or browsing for your next favorite outfit, I want you to leave feeling inspired and confident.

When I’m not behind the chair, you’ll find me enjoying life with my fun-loving family—my husband, Alan; our two amazing teenagers, Tyler and Mikaela; and our lively crew of 13 pets (yes, 13!), including our Maltese puppy, poodle, bunnies, a mini pig, birds, and turtles! If you’ve seen one of my ads, you’ve likely caught a glimpse of my mini-me, Mikaela—she loves being part of the fun!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I can’t wait to meet you, give you a fresh new haircut, and maybe even help you pick out your next favorite outfit.

Blessings,
Ilona 😊
