Denise, the leader of the Salon Cora team, was honored by the community as Best Hair Stylist in 2022.
Her journey began in 1994, graduating from cosmetology school in Palatine at the age of 22 with both her Cosmetology and Instructor licenses. Since then, Denise has built a remarkable career—working behind the chair, educating future stylists, managing and opening multiple school campuses and salons, and ultimately founding Salon Cora in December 2014.
Salon Cora has become the perfect platform for Denise to share her decades of knowledge and experience with a growing team of talented stylists, estheticians, and nail specialists—continuing her mission to lead, mentor, and elevate beauty professionals in a culture of support and excellence.
