Edyta

Owner-Director Stylist /NBR Extensions Licensed Artist

I opened Strada Salon in 2007 because I wanted to create a place where guests feel comfortable, where they receive the service they deserve and the style they want.

​Hair has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I was 5 years old and I was braiding everyone's hair. At the age of 15, I started a beauty school in Poland for 3 full years. The School system was different back then, I was studying theory in school for one week and I was getting me behind the chair skills every other week in one of the most popular salons "TRENDY" by salon owner Anna who was my teacher, my friends Dorota and my friend Slawek, a Master stylist who is a co-founder of Kublin & Berentowicz Academy in Poland. I'm still in touch with them and every time I'm in Poland I still go to their training to learn something new.

2004 Full body Waxing, Facials, lash & brow henna. 2006 I was trained by the Japanese company "Milbon" in New York for Japanese hair straightening & moisturizing/reconstructive treatments. 2010 entire salon was trained and certified in Keratin Treatments by "GK" and "UltraTress" extensions. 2018 training in luxury Brazilian Keratin and platinum blond perfection. 

My goal is to create an individual style that fits the client's personality and lifestyle. Healthy and beautiful hair is what I want for my clients. I specialize in corrective color and custom changes in your cut & color. As the salon owner, I want you to know that styles are changing quickly, and we know it’s very important to keep up. You can be confident that all the stylists here receive ongoing training in cutting, coloring, and styling. We’re always up-to-date on the latest trends.

Whether people come to see me, or any of the stylists here, I want every customer to walk out the door feeling great.

Senior Stylist/NBR Extension Certified

I started being a stylist in 2016 after graduating from cosmetology and spa school.

I’ve always had a passion for hair. When I was younger I would always play with my friend's hair and experiment with color.

I was always afraid of going to beauty school, that I wouldn’t make it.

I decided to take a chance and go follow my dream and I couldn’t be happier.

I love hair! I love pleasing my clients and making them feel and look beautiful!

Not only am I a stylist but I’m also your friend! I always try to give out the best advice that I possibly can and I listen. Even on your saddest days, I can make you smile!

I am a very happy, smiling person and I’m here for anyone that needs me! As for my training, I’ve been trained by Edyta for the past two years. Every techie I have learned is off her. I also take extra training classes, in this Industry, I will never stop learning, I want to know more!

I worked a long time in mt. Prospect salon but after I got sick and was not able to work for 3 months my room got taken away from me and I decided to work with my daughter at Strada. I specialize in customized European facials, designer peel exfoliation, gentle body waxing including very popular Brazilian wax and eyebrows & eyelashes henna(tinting). All of my facials include a skin analysis and customized treatment that fits your specific skin care needs. I have completed more than 100,000 waxes making me incredibly proficient in my craft.
