Karina Davila

Karina Davila works as a hair artist and educator in Wheaton, Illinois, and takes clients from Wheaton and surrounding areas. She runs Karina Davila Artistry. Her recognized strengths are curly and dry cutting, dimensional color, teaching, and building and marketing a business. For bridal clients she favors refined, classic styles with a modern edge, and her makeup is built around natural skin, defined eyes, and a full lip in a shade chosen by the client. When a bridal party needs extra artists, she selects freelancers herself so that each one fits her style and professional standards. She teaches for Forever Curls and Aveda, and she is a current curly educator. Her teaching began with mentoring apprentices at C'zar Salon Spa. From there it expanded into writing curriculum, teaching the theory behind hair work, and helping newer stylists handle their first client sessions. Alongside technical instruction she covers business management, personal branding, and purposeful client consultations. She also offers private one-on-one and salon-based training for stylists who want to understand why techniques work the way they do.
