Legacy Stylist
Rita: Your Elmhurst Local, Hair Maestro, and Italian Cooking Enthusiast!
Ciao! I’m Rita, your friendly hair artist with deep roots right here in Elmhurst.
This town isn’t just where I work—it’s home sweet home. My kids grew up K-12 in Elmhurst, and this community is a part of our family’s story.
Hair styling found me while seeking the perfect balance between creativity and raising my amazing kids. It’s been a blessing to live out my passion while having the flexibility to nurture my family. Life’s recipe doesn’t get much better than this.
In the realm of hair, I’ve honed my skills for over 22+ years, shaped by the guidance of a top industry colorist from California during my formative years. His techniques still inspire my craft today. Corrective color? It’s my playground! Witnessing transformations unfold right here in my chair brings me immense joy. While I adore creating vibrant shades, there’s something magical about crafting those sun-kissed, natural looks that brighten your day.
Beyond hairstyling, I also help clients achieve salon-worthy color at home as a Licensed Colorist On Demand (LCOD) with Sally Beauty. Through free virtual consultations, I guide clients on their hair color journey, offering expert advice, product recommendations, and troubleshooting tips—all from the convenience of their home. I’m here to make the process easy and stress-free! Simply connect via video, text, or chat with a current photo of your hair and your dream color inspo, and I’ll help with that glow-up!
Speaking of glow—I also offer bespoke spray tanning services for that perfect sun-kissed look without the sun’s harmful rays! My personalized approach ensures a radiant, confidence-boosting result tailored to you.
Outside of the salon, my heart belongs to my big Italian family and the kitchen! Cooking is my second love, and nothing beats gathering around a table filled with homemade pasta, sauces, and laughter. That passion for creating extends from the kitchen to the salon—I pour my heart into both.
Your journey with me starts with a thorough consultation because I believe in listening first. I’m all ears and a keen communicator, ensuring your comfort and understanding every step of the way. Trust me to blend my professional advice with your desires, leaving you with a style that feels as comforting as a hearty Italian meal.
Let’s not just create fabulous hair together—let’s build a connection where warmth and style meet. Whether it’s revamping your hair, guiding you in beauty, or giving you that perfect glow, I’m here to make you feel your best inside and out.
