Sylvia became infatuated with hair and beauty at an early age and knew she had to follow her passion, which lead her to enroll in a 4-year Hair Academy. After graduation, she attended the Wella Professional Hair Color training program in Munich, Germany. Upon returning, she furthered her knowledge of cutting and styling with some of the region’s leading stylists. With this foundation she set about a career as a budding professional stylist, and have spent the past 15 years developing her style and honing skills while working in salons, photo and TV shoots, and fashion shows throughout Europe.
Insatiable drive to perfect the art form kept her traveling throughout Europe to attend numerous hair shows from industry leaders such as Vidal Sassoon and Toni & Guy, each time gaining valuable knowledge and inspiration.

Through many years of practice, training and an innate grasp of her client's needs, she will deliver amazing results regardless of your desired look.
