KellyAnn Tracy got her start in the beauty industry at a makeup counter in 2008 before moving to Chicago, where she began to pursue her passion for cosmetology. She then attended Steven Papageorge Hair Academy to further develop her skills as a hair stylist. KellyAnn was a top student stylist and went on to become a 2010 winner of the Professional Beauty Association’s Beacon Student Competition.

After school, she worked her way from receptionist to apprentice, to a full-time Stylist at Robert Jeffrey Hair Salon in Lincoln Park, Chicago. In addition to her work behind the chair, she also was an artist at Sonia Roselli Bridal Studio, doing both hair and makeup. Bridal Hair and Makeup was always a huge creative outlet for KellyAnn while living in Chicago, and she loves that she is able to bring her years of experience in the Chicago Bridal industry to her hometown.

KellyAnn moved back to Cincinnati, Ohio in 2014. When she moved home, she reconnected with a high school friend, whom she married a year later in 2015. They now live in Cincinnati with their two sons, Xavier and Silas. She is currently working for herself at Parlor 23 in Fairfield, as a stylist and makeup artist. You can book an appointment with her at www.vagaro.com. In addition to her work at the salon, she works with Ali Wolfe Photography doing hair and makeup for high school seniors and family photo sessions. KellyAnn is always looking for opportunities to grow as a hairstylist and makeup artist, seeking out new ways to grow her business.
