My favorite part of the beauty industry is the people.  I love to meet new people and make new friends.  I always love a challenge, whether it is corrective color or creating a whole new look for you.

See you soon!

My name is Keith Johnson.  I am the Massage Therapist here at Sophisticuts Salon and Spa.  Although I have been practicing massage therapy since 2006, I have only been practicing at Sophisticuts for several months. In that short time, I have quickly realized how great the staff is here. I attended school at Everest College in North Aurora.

My training includes, but is not limited to, Swedish Massage, Deep-Tissue Massage, Myofascial Release, Pre-Natal Massage, Reflexology and Sports Massage.  I believe a good massage has the power to make the worst days seem wonderful.

Thank you!

Keith

My Name is Lindsey Koning. I have been working at Sophisticuts Salon and Spa for over 3 years.  I attended Midwest College of Cosmetology in Normal, Illinois.  I decided to become a Cosmetologist because I really enjoy making people look and feel good about themselves.  I think that if you look good on the outside then you feel more confident on the inside! 

I specialize in hair coloring, haircuts, special occasion hair and make-up.  I have attended many hair shows and am very educated on the newest trends and techniques. I enjoy keeping up on the new and current trends worn by models and celebrities.  I am always learning how to create those styles for real life clients.  If you want a new trendy look or to just refresh the style you have, make an appointment with me and I will help you look and feel your best!

I look forward to meeting with you,

Lindsey

My name is Cherie Maupin.  I have been a licensed cosmetologist since 1999.  I have been employed by Sophisticuts Salon & Spa since 2000.  Thanks to my loyal clientele, I have become a Master Designer in the Salon.

Throughout my years in this industry, I have had extensive training in Chicago, Las Vegas, New York and Wisconsin.  One of my favorite moments came during my time spent on 5th Avenue in New York City, working with the head of redken Professionals on color correction.  It was an amazing learning experience.  One I will never forget.

One of my favorite aspects of this industry is coloring and hair design.  I love bringing the perfect haircut and beautiful coloring together.  I also love doing perms, chemical straightenings, up-do's and styling.  I also work as part of our spa doing manicures, pedicures and facials.  I love this job and look forward to meeting you!

Thanks,

Cherie

My name is Tiffany Neahring.  I have been a stylist at Sophisticuts Salon & Spa for 2 years and a licensed cosmetologist for 5 years.

I attended school at Educators of Beauty in Sterling, Illinois and have attended many educational events in Chicago and Wisconsin. I love to learn about new trends and then applying them to techniques I use everyday. My passion is for hair styling, but i also do manicures, pedicures and facials.  Before I start your service, I always tell myself, "make this person feel like a million bucks!" and I always strive to do so. I love the art of up-do's and special occasion hair. I look forward to meeting you and making you feel awesome!

Thanks,

Tiffany

My name is Adriane Baker.  I have been in the hair industry for 3 years and a licensed cosmetologist for 2 years.  I have gotten my feet wet working in other salons as a stylist and as a salon manager.  I received a scholarship from Educators of Beauty in Sterling, Illinois to participate in the Teacher Training Program, and continued my education.  I taught cosmetology students until i was done with my training.

But my passion was doing hair, not teaching it.  I have attended the Bioelements School in Chicago, Illinois.  There I gained extensive knowledge about the Bioelements product line and I became certified to do Bioelements facials.

I love to keep up on new trends. In the fall, I attended the Premier Encounter Hair Show in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.  And in the spring, I attend the Expressions Hair Show in Oakbrook, Illinois.  I love to show my guests the new foiling, cutting and texturizing techniques I have learned.  While working and going to school, I needed a little stress reliever, so i decided to take up Yoga.  I love practicing Yoga, but I love teaching it even more.  I am the instructor for the evening Yoga classes held here in the salon.  My goal is to continue to grow and keep learning.

Thanks,

Adriane
