Alina relocated out of state; we wish her the best!

Since age 12, Alina knew she wanted to be a stylist, a creator, and most of all, an artist. She started her career as a hairstylist at Jean Madeline Aveda Institute in Philadelphia in 2012. One year later, Alina had her first job at a barber shop. Soon after, she realized as challenging as men's cuts can be that she needed a bigger challenge to satisfy her desires as an artist. A year later, she started in a private salon. As an assistant she learned advanced cut & color techniques, as well as top services/treatments in the industry. Such services include extensions, Keratin treatments, Makeup artistry and much more. Alina even had the honor of doing the makeup for the Philly Phasion Phest fashion show. Now after several years in the industry and all the education she has received, Alina is able to go above and beyond for her clients. She loves everything this industry has to offer. From bold fashion colors to transformation haircuts, every client she sees will have an amazing experience as well as an excellent service. She thanks you for letting her make you fabulous!
