At 17 I decided that the hair industry was my dream career and off I went to beauty school. I have always been a lover of art and decided hair was an amazing form of it. I have now been in the industry for 20 years.

At 17 I decided that the hair industry was my dream career and off I went to beauty school. I have always been a lover of art and decided hair was an amazing form of it. I have now been in the industry for 20 years.
I have dabbled in a lot of different things in the hair industry, from being an educator, hair extensions and barbering. Over the years I decided, I love the mix of both women's hair and men's barbering, so I decided to bring them together!
Before moving to the Saint Charles area for my husbands career, I owned my Own Salon and Barbershop in a cute river town near the Quad cities. I combined both my loves of the industry and made a boutique, modern vintage salon and barbershop. I believe I can bring that same culture
and love to Coast.
It has always been my dream to be my own boss and be able to bring the best of this industry to you all. Coast salon has been able to bring that to amazing artist and am excited to be apart of their culture and their dreams too.
With barbering, I bring a vintage modern twist to the barber experience. Hot towel straight razor shaves, express Men's facials, beard details, neck and head massages. The old school barbering with
a modern flare!
With the womens side, I have fallen in love with bringing hair extensions to my clients to make their dream hair become a reality. I was an educator for hair extensions in the Milwaukee area when I lived there and am excited to bring that knowledge to all the clients in this area.
My business is Frankie's Salon N' Barbershop and the name came from my Daughter Frankie who is a year and half. She has brought such joy to my husband and my life, I could not think of a better name for my business.
We are so excited to be here and I am excited to
build bonds with new clients and friends.
Cant wait to meet you.
