From a very early age, Ren had a passion for art. Getting lost in her paintings and drawings was what she loved most. In high school, this love of creating translated into painting her friends hair (and her own) in the laundry room of her apartment building. A few years later, she made the decision to attend the Aveda Institute. Ren has been in the industry for a decade and spent her whole career working in downtown Chicago as a balayage specialist. This has given her many opportunities to learn from many reputable hair dressers working for well known companies. Since we are all beautifully unique individuals, Ren enjoys creating a look that is just right for her guests. Whether it’s a few sunkissed pieces to bring natural hair color some glow or full on rainbow hair, Ren loves being involved in the very special artistic process that makes you you!

“A few strategically placed highlights can change your look dramatically and make you feel transformed. It’s always exciting to switch it up once in a while!”

When she is not behind the chair, Ren is busy creating a magical world for her daughter Iris. She also loves to paint, cook, hike, and travel to enchanting mountainous regions.
