Emily has been in the salon world since she was a young girl. Her mother was a stylist since before Emily was born; it was only natural that some of her first memories were that of a salon. During her teenage years, she began to grow increasingly interested in now only all things art related, but also her love for cosmetology-like-things.
When she finally decided to take the first leap of faith into the cosmetology world, she immediately was enamored with it all. She deeply immersed herself in it, and her passions only continue to grow as time passes.
After working in a traditional salon, she ventured out on her own and rented a shared suite. When that feeling of change came knocking, she answered. She opened her own 400sq ft space, only to upgrade to a 1200 sq ft space 6 months later.
As fate would have it, Beautistry was born, and the leaps of faith just kept on coming. When Emily stumbled upon the space in which Beautistry currently resides, she was awestruck - it was as if someone plucked her vision right out of her dreams and built a space perfect to house the structure you know and love now.
Over the years, Emily has grown increasingly interested in leadership, and helping other stylists to work in their flow of energy. She is passionate about shaking up the industry, and this rendition of Beautistry was the perfect home to do so.

Liv was always drawn to being creative and while in school, took every art class possible. Liv’s passion for hair grew from braiding hair to being the go-to hairstylist of the friend group. It was at that point during high school where she was thinking about her options after graduating, and the only thing she kept circling back to was hair. Having the best support from her own stylist and her family and friends she decided to take the step and attend cosmetology school.
After her time learning at WCTC, Liv is excited to host you in her chair! When she’s not in the salon, you will find her camping with her family or at home watching her favorite shows or movies. Liv enjoys all things color services, but her favorite services range from lived in color to blonding.
Kelley has always been drawn to the arts ever since she was a little girl. Whether it has been drawing, painting, music, theater or makeup. Throughout high school she was unsure if cosmetology would be the right fit for her, so she started her journey off at DePaul University where she studied wig and makeup design for a semester. Kelley shortly realized she was craving a little more and that’s what led her on the path to cosmetology school! She always tried and experimented with makeup any chance she got, both glam and special effects looks.
Kelley graduated from WCTC with a cosmetology degree in May 2024. In the interim, she worked at Sephora at Kohl's. Kelley’s love for the industry only increased from being immersed in that world. She was constantly surrounded by others with the same passion as her for the cosmetology industry. Fast forward to today, Kelley loves being able to help others express their true selves through all of her services.

Morgan has always been creative. The first person to suggest this industry to her was her mom. As her family always says, you could always find Morgan “making things” as a child. One of her first memories of her interest in the industry was when she received some play makeup as a gift. As she grew, her love for the craft grew more and now as an adult, she finds that her creative mind as a child has translated well as her love for cosmetology as an adult!
Morgan graduated in cosmetology from WCTC, and had her first job behind the chair in a corporate salon. She knew that this structure was a great start for her, and she loved that she got to do a bit of everything, whether it be an artist, photographer, creator, or even just an ear to listen. Morgan is excited to show each client their own beauty, inside and out!
