The top experts in Chicago

to meet your every beauty need.

  • Carla Kopecky | Owner, Stylist

    Carla began her journey in the beauty industry over eight years ago in the heart of Chicago, where she apprenticed under some of the city’s top stylists. It was there that she discovered her passion for all things hair, specializing in both timeless styles and transformative color.

    Known for her love of bright blondes and lived-in color, Carla brings a creative touch to every client she works with. Whether you're leaving with a bouncy blowout or effortless beachy waves, her goal is always the same: to make you feel confident, seen, and truly heard.

    For Carla, great hair is just the beginning. Being a bright spot in someone’s day is what she loves most about her craft. She’s now looking forward to shining even more positive light in the industry through Carla Theresa Salon!

  • Maddy Torres-Ibarra | Stylist

Driven by a desire to offer her clients a full range of beauty services, she returned to school to expand her skills and creative reach.

    For Maddy, every appointment is about more than just hair. Whether it’s a quick refresh or a bold transformation, her goal is always the same: to help clients feel happy, confident, and comfortable in their own skin. She’s committed to creating a space that’s honest, respectful, and above all, judgment-free. A place where everyone is welcome to look and feel their best.
