Hello, friends!

My name is Ilona, and I’m a licensed cosmetologist specializing in balayage, lived-in dimensional color, highlights, gray coverage, and haircutting. I received training through Toni & Guy at the Steven Papageorge Hair Academy in Chicago. I have taken dozens of advanced classes with the best of the best, in balayage, blonding, highlighting, precision cutting, razor cutting, color theory, hair color chemistry, gray coverage, and more! I am also certified through Masters of Balayage whose founder is Ryan Weeden, one of the industry’s top balayage artists. I have also completed a balayage training program through SUNLIGHTS®balayage. I love learning new techniques and keeping up with hair trends!

My private home salon located in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of Brandon, Florida, was recently renovated to make it more inviting and comfortable for my guests!

When I don’t have my hands in someone’s hair, my number one favorite thing to do is hang out with my fun-loving family - my husband, Alan, and my 2 teenagers, Tyler and Mikaela, and our 13 animals (a maltese puppy, 3 bunnies, a mini pig, a galah cockatoo, a parakeet, a cockatiel, a senegal parrot, 2 guinea pigs, and 2 reeves turtles)!!! If you have come across my website from seeing one of my ads, then you have likely met my mini me, Mikaela, in one of my videos!

I look forward to meeting you and getting my hands in your hair! 😊

Blessings,

Ilona
