Renee (Elite Hair Designer)

Get to Know Me

My journey behind the chair:
My career in the beauty industry began in 2007, starting as a salon assistant and working my way up to becoming a Senior Stylist, a role I’ve proudly held for over 10 years.

Education is everything:
I believe continuing education is one of the most important parts of growing as a stylist. Our industry is always evolving, and I love learning new techniques, discovering new trends and continuing to perfect my craft so my clients are always excited for their next visit.

My passion for extensions:
Hair extensions have a special place in my heart. I naturally have very fine hair, and growing up, it was something I was sometimes called out for. That experience became part of my motivation to create beautiful illusions with hair. I love giving my clients natural-looking fullness and transformations that can completely change the way they feel about their hair — and themselves.

What my clients would say about me:
They’d probably say they love my personality but also my honesty! I’m very upfront about realistic expectations and will never compromise the integrity of someone’s hair just to achieve a certain result. Healthy hair always comes first.

My favourite tool:
Definitely my round brush! I love creating those soft, bouncy, natural blowouts that make you feel like you’ve just stepped out of the salon.

Give me a blank canvas:
I love working with virgin hair. It gives me a completely blank canvas and the opportunity to create an incredible transformation from beginning to end.

Stylists who inspire me:
✂️ Antonio Quintieri — Antonio was actually my hairstylist growing up, and his passion for hair and the beauty industry rubbed off on me. I’ve continued to follow and admire his career ever since.

✂️ Chris Appleton — I admire his creativity and ability to continually push our industry forward. From his iconic transformations to the unique products and techniques he has helped introduce, his work has changed the way stylists approach and create beautiful hair.

Behind my chair, you can expect:
Personality, honesty, education, realistic advice and a stylist who will always put the health of your hair first — while still finding ways to make you feel incredible. ✨
