Hi! Thank you for taking the time to learn a little bit more about the person behind the chair!

​

She frequently travels to NYC to service her clients and do bridal hair on location. Elly studied cosmetology at one of the top beauty schools in the world and graduated from Paul Mitchell. Elly has been an independent stylist ever since she graduated and has been in the industry for twelve years. Shortly after graduating, Elly was hired as an Educator and Cutting Specialist at Paul Mitchell the School Jacksonville, where she shared her passion for the industry and for education. Elly taught cosmetology for six years, where she had many opportunities to travel, continue her education and assist behind the scenes for fashion and hair shows with the worlds most renown platform artists. With Elly's passion for product knowledge, Elly took on a position as Vanite Paul Mitchell Focus Salon's Education Director, where she had the opportunity to share her knowledge and train her fellow stylists in Chicago. 

​

As Elly's business expanded in the bridal industry and salon world, Elly moved on to focus on building Hair is in the Air on a full time basis, in her hometown Jacksonville, FL, and on location in NYC.
