Lauren Cassidy

Business Owner at Visions for the Art of Hair
Master Stylist • Master Colorist
Welcome! I'm Lauren, owner of Visions for the Art of Hair. 
From the moment you walk through our door, I want you to feel welcome, appreciated, and like you truly belong.

With over 25 years behind the chair, I’ve learned that great hair starts with great communication. I take the time to talk with you—really talk—about what you want, what I see, and what we both know will suit you best. Together, we create a style that’s uniquely yours.

I never double-book appointments and always recommend the right products to keep your hair healthy and beautiful between visits. I want your hair to look amazing the day you leave and every day until you’re back in the chair.

I’m a true local—born and raised right here in Bloomingdale. I’m married, a proud mom of two grown kids, and a happy grandma to a few sweet grandbabies. When I’m not at the salon, you’ll find me connecting with other local business owners, volunteering at church, spending time with family, or catching up with girlfriends over lunch.

Come visit and see what makes us special.
Let us pamper you – you deserve it! Book your appointment today!

Heather Abernathey

Stylist specializing in balayage, custom coloring, precision haircuts, braiding & upstyles
Hi, I’m Heather! Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve known this was my calling—and for the past 15 years, I’ve been living the dream of helping people look and feel their absolute best.

Clients say I’m easygoing, a great listener, and a bit of a “cutting whisperer”—I pay attention to the little things, both in conversation and in style, that make a big difference.

From lived-in balayage and rich custom color to precise cuts, braids, and special-occasion upstyles, I love creating looks that reflect your personality and make you feel radiant.

Working alongside Lauren has only deepened my love for this industry. Her creative spark and the welcoming vibe of our salon make it a place clients love to return to.

I’m married with four wonderful kids, grounded by my faith and energized by nature. You’ll often find me exploring local forest preserves with my crew in tow.

Let’s create something beautiful together—book your appointment today!

Joanna Silva

Stylist specializing in precision cuts, dimensional color, balayage, highlights, bridal styling, and luxury extensions
Hi, I’m Joanna – wife, proud boy mom to my amazing son Dominic, and a hairdresser who’s been living and breathing this industry for over 25 years. Based in Bloomingdale, Illinois, I specialize in precision cuts, dimensional color, balayage, highlights, bridal styling, and luxury extensions – basically, all the magic that leaves you feeling unstoppable.

One of my true passions? Bridal upstyling and extension work. There’s nothing like the transformation – adding length, volume, and that extra dose of confidence in a way that feels effortless and stunning. Whether it’s for a wedding or just because, I love helping women fall in love with their hair all over again.

My chair is where precision meets personality. Yes, I’m serious about my craft – but I’m also here for the laughs, the real talk, and the good energy. My clients come for the hair, but they stay for the honesty, the connection, and the little spark of joy in every visit.

I’m a little sassy and a whole lot of heart. You’ll always get my full attention, sharp eye, and steady hands – plus a healthy dose of sparkle.

Come hang out with me on Instagram @styleandsassy. Let’s make something beautiful together – one stitch, one snip, one smile at a time.

Samara Guerra

Nail Stylist, promoting nail health and client happiness
Hi I'm Samara, I specialize in beauty treatments for superior nail health and care in the salon and at home. I use cruelty-free and vegan products to achieve this goal. Therefore, all the products are not tested on animals and do not contain any animal-derived ingredients. 

I do classic manicures, non-chip manicures, nail designs, paraffin wax teatments, spa pedicures, deluxe pedicures, and much more. 

I am a true professional in my craft, something I take great pride in. With extensive knowledge and experience in providing superior customer service, I work tirelessly to ensure that every client in my care feels totally pampered. I guarantee it!

I have been in the Nail Industry for 19 years. My experience working in high end salons and having co-owned a nail salon has given me extensive knowledge and experience in providing superior customer service. I work to ensure that every client in my care feels totally pampered — I guarantee it! 

I continue to evolve and educate myself -- not only in my area of expertise but I love nutrition and other areas in overall wellness.

My services include sugar scrubs, masks, paraffin and essential oils. Every one of the products I use are free of the Big 5 chemicals, vegan friendly and anti-cruelty.

LED lamps are used as a healthier alternative in the drying process for the non chip manicure.

Upon seeing the rush-rush culture of most salons and not allowing enough time to address clients’ needs, I wanted to fill that gap and bring a special attention to detail — knowing that no single approach works for everyone. 

I have committed to No Drills, No Hard Buffing or Filing and bringing the best quality products to clients to support nail health and provide an overall amazing experience!

Connect with me and book your appointment. See you soon!
