Alyssa’s career in the beauty/fashion
industry started back 5 years ago. It was when she was a young girl when she
first played with makeup and found her passion. She then progressed into doing
her friends hair and makeup for just about every event they attended.
From there she went on to Pivot Point
International Academy and furthered her skills and after onto bigger and better
things such as various makeup and styling for shoots including fashion shows,
clothing lines, events such as Lollapalooza, and editorial print work.
In addition to styling Revival Pinups
clients, she also works at a salon located in the Wrigley/ Lakeview area for
the past four years called Fix Hair Studio.
When Alyssa’s not working she usually
can be found with her friends outside enjoying the city, going to shows to see
bands play, or out thrifting for jewelry and creating. Alyssa specializes in Hair
styling, cutting, coloring, extensions, and a wide range of updos. As for
makeup she is able to create anything from natural “barely-there” look to a
more classic, sophisticated look as well as glamorous, bold or extravagant.
Emily was introduced into the world of hair, makeup and
fashion as a young girl. Between her makeup artist mother who later became a
hair stylist, and her uncle who owned a salon, there was no escaping a future
in the beauty industry! Emily has been a traveling regional makeup artist for
Stila Cosmetics since 2005, with a brief intermission to attend Chicago’s own
Aveda Institute. She knew that in order to be a well-rounded stylist, getting
her cosmetology license and a more broad knowledge of hair and beauty was a
must.
Emily’s esthetic resonates along the lines of classic
beauties such as Grace Kelly, Lucille Ball, and Marilyn Monroe. She also loves
current trends and modern looks straight from the runways of fashion week. When
not at work, you can find Emily listening to old records, cooking up yummy
feasts for her fella and roommates, or painting the town red. Emily always
knows just how to make you giggle and feel at home, while creating the perfect
look for every day or your special event.
Kate was born in a small suburb of Dallas Texas before her
family moved to Southern California when she was 5. Growing up was like
an old film from the 50’s, she was her mother’s living doll, wearing
pink sponge rollers in her hair every night and trying out the newest
colors and looks.
It wasn’t until she was in college studying for her BFA in Musical
Theater at California State University, Fullerton that she discovered
her ease with a paint brush and her love for design. After designing the
makeup and hair for multiple university productions, and shattering her
foot performing in another, she changed her degree to Special Effects
Makeup and Hair for Film and Theater. She was in love!
Not long after visiting Chicago for the first time she packed her
bags and moved east finding success in print, film, commercials and
fashion shows. She worked as an artist and trainer for companies such
as Smashbox, Nars, Vincent Longo and Kevyn Aucoin, learning how to bring
out the beauty in every skin type. A true believer that a great team
is where creativity is born she always ensures that the clients needs
are her top priority.
