Gretchen Sinn

Gretchen Sinn owns Pura Vida Hair Inc. and works there as a stylist. Her career started in Cleveland, Ohio, where she worked in a salon while beginning an apprenticeship. She later spent time in New York City before returning to the Heartland and settling in Wheaton, Illinois, where she has served clients for the past 13 years.

She has more than 20 years of experience cutting and coloring hair and trained extensively in Vidal Sassoon cutting methods. Her focus is modern short styles, including pixies, sleek bobs and tailored men's cuts. She works with all hair lengths and textures, and uses razor cutting on part or all of some haircuts to create soft, blended lines and remove weight.

Looks are built around each client's personality, lifestyle and hair type, whether the goal is a bold transformation or a subtle refresh. She enjoys connecting with the people in her chair.
