Confession: I am obsessed, in love, and intrigued with my industry. I can do anything pertaining to beauty all day. I believe it's the BEST industry. I love every aspect of what I do especially connecting with my guests. Most of what I do end up having something to do with hair. My friends and family think I work too much but I honestly don't feel like I do. I'm so blessed and thankful for the opportunity to do what I love for a career.
I was born in Nigeria and stayed there till I was eleven. My name Unwana (uu-Wah-nah) means brightness of God's light and Rose is the name of my aunts, interestingly enough, one from my dad and one from my moms side. I love to illuminate and beautify everyone and anything I do.
My journey started as a little girl, my mom would send me to school with one hair style and I would come back with my hair altered. I started as a braider for about nine years when my family joined my dad in the United States. I was formally trained as a cosmetologist at Pivot Point in Evanston IL. I enjoy continuing my education and gaining knowledge to enhance my career. I absolutely love learning and trying new things.
When I'm not in the salon, I'm on set. Currently I am one of the key hair stylists for the television show Chicago PD
I've been blessed with several opportunities to be on the crew of some commercials, TV shows, and movies as a hair and makeup artist.
