Vanessa
Welcome to the Curly Queen’s corner! I have been in the industry for about five years, and have loved every second of it. Having curly hair myself and growing up in the early 2000’s when pin straight hair was in, I had to learn how to do my own hair at a young age. I started straightening my hair everyday. I would do this for years until I realized I was completely destroying my curls. That is when I really dove into ‘what makes hair healthy?’ Before I knew it, everybody was asking me to style their hair, asking my opinions on products, and tips on how to achieve a perfect style at home. Of course, in the Youtube Era (circa 2016) beauty tutorials are what we all found ourselves doing in our rooms at 2am on a school night. It was then when I realized I had a knack for hair and beauty that wasn’t widely known!
I went on to do both the hair and makeup at The Rookies USA Fashion show in Chicago in February of 2020. That was a real turning point for me in realizing I LOVED what I was doing. When the pandemic hit, my fire and love for the beauty world felt like it had been put on an indefinite pause. It made me that much more hungry to keep this train going. I was working part time at a salon and full time as a restaurant manager out in the suburbs. It was hard trying to hold onto what I wanted so I quit my full time restaurant job and moved to the inner city. I had worked full time at my first salon for a while before I then started at Glow in October of 2021.
I have a 1 year old Mini Australian Shepherd named Skai. Full government name is Skai Rose Marroquin Madulara. Yes, I am Latina, she needs two last names! She is 15lbs, so she is just very tiny but very fluffy. I am a huge dog person/ animal lover in general, so I will more than likely ask if you have any pets!
My goal with my clients at Glow is to make every single person that sits in my chair feel welcomed, safe, peaceful, and happy! This is your free time that you’ve chosen to spend with me. I want to respect that, so if you want to do girl talk, therapy, silent appointments, or you just want to sleep? Do it! When you sit in my chair for the first time, you can expect us to have very in-depth consultations about expectations, priorities in hair care, at-home care, techniques, and long-term hair goals. I leave an open door for communication and honesty! If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to email me personally! I also accept DM’s on Instagram.
