Trisha Ballerini Trackman

Trisha Ballerini Trackman owns The Studio of Long Grove, where she also works as an esthetician. For two decades she ran her own spa in Highland Park, and over that time she built hands-on experience in each area of beauty and esthetics. She is now back to seeing clients directly at the Long Grove studio.

Her healthcare background includes a period as Spa Director at Northwest Community Hospital Wellness Center in Arlington Heights, and she helped set up the first hospital-based spa at Condell Hospital in Libertyville. On the regulatory side, she worked with industry groups and the State of Illinois to establish licensing for medical esthetics. She also served as an industry consultant and as a go-between for the Chicago Cosmetology Association and the Department of Professional Regulations, and she was involved in Sunset Act developments that shape the rules for the cosmetic and spa industry.

She was appointed to the Illinois State Board of Cosmetology, where she spent six years as a board member, including a term as Chairwoman. She aims for every client to leave feeling good about how they look.
