Ask state-of-the-art stylist, Becca McNab, what her favorite part of her job is and she will tell you it’s the "Before and after". That’s why clients don’t just come to this Chicago stylist for a haircut, but an entire makeover. This theatre major discovered her passion in college while working behind the stage. Exposed to hair and make-up design, Becca became fascinated with the actor to character transformation. After graduating she carried her artistic vision away from the theatrical stage and onto an even bigger stage, life’s.

Now Becca strives to give clients a look that complements both their style and best facial features. Whether its natural highlights or bold and dramatic colors, she loves to complete the look with a flawless makeup application. Weddings and special occasions are her favorite. If "All the world’s a stage" then shouldn’t you have Becca primping you for your debut?
