About

“....you just gotta do what you love and hope other people love it too.” - Joan Jett      

I started my hair career way back in middle school - cutting and coloring all my girlfriends’ hair in their parents’ bathroom and I knew I was on to something. I loved experimenting and creating knew looks on my friends so I definitely thought that this would be my career. Fast forward to 2009, when I am graduating from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design with absolutely no clue what I was going to do with my life. Ultimately, I was lead straight back to hair, what I really wanted to pursue all along. So, I enrolled in cosmetology school and in 2012 I graduated from the Institute of Beauty and Wellness and I started my “real” career in hair.

My goal is to create looks on my clients that they can recreate at home, that they feel are genuinely “them”, and that fit within their boundaries.  I love getting to know my clients and designing a look that is truly tailored just for them. I take pride in my honesty and my ability to listen to my client’s wants and needs, taking all these little bits of info to form something that really speaks to their personality and overall vibe. 

I could never pick coloring or cutting as my “favorite”, as I’m often asked this question.  For me, they go hand-in-hand. I revel in “lived-in” color looks, clipper work, bobs, shags, and cuts with a little roughness to them. I draw my own inspiration from music, fashion, and, of course, the many talented hairdressers and educators that we are fortunate to continue learning from in this day and age. I hope to continue to learn and grow behind the chair until my body won’t allow me to do so anymore.  Let’s do your hair. 


Maggie's Services


Cancelation Policy:

Due to a high volume of last minute cancellations I have decided to implement a cancelation policy. Your time is valuable and mine is equally as valuable. I will require a 24 hour notice of cancelation and will now require a card to be kept on file. 50% of total service cost will be charged if service is canceled with less than 24 hours notice. 75% will be charged if service is no showed with no notice. Thank you.

Example:

Full highlight ($150)
Canceled $75 charged | No Show $112.50 charged

Hourly Rate

I charge an hourly rate of $100/hr for all services. If you are in my chair for 30 minutes, the cost would be $50, 3 hours would be $300.

Most new client haircuts will take anywhere from 1 hour to 1.5 hours depending on the consultation and the level of change. After your first haircut experience we will discuss your maintenance plan to keep your haircut looking it’s best.

The color process really changes with each unique head of hair. I will always do a consultation to discuss options, timing and pricing with each guest.
