ABOUT ME
I’m Allison Figueroa! I was born and raised in Naples, Florida. I moved to Tampa in 1989 to attend the University of South Florida where I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Women’s Studies. After a few years in the workforce I decided to pursue my true calling of Hairstylist and Make-up Artist.
Ever since I was a young girl I had an interest in the beauty industry. I quickly became the person that all of my girlfriends would come to for their hair and makeup needs for homecoming and prom. This passion for beauty led me to do
makeup on the side while I pursued my college degree.
I became a licensed Cosmetologist in 2003 and have furthered my knowledge throughout the years with Continuing Education courses. I’ve received multiple certifications from Redken Symposium and I am a Master Colorist with Redken. I have also taken courses with L’Oreal Professionnel, TIGI and Goldwell. Trends are constantly changing and I believe that taking all of these courses allows me the opportunity to offer my clients the latest and the best of what is current, while still maintaining my classic approach to beauty.
My color lines of choice are Redken, L’Oreal Professionnel and Goldwell because I believe in using the absolute best on my clients. All of these color lines offer superb shine and conditioning with every process resulting in healthy, beautiful hair every time.
I specialize in Weddings and Events doing both hair and makeup. I feel honored when I am chosen by brides to make them look and feel beautiful on their big day. After many years of dedicating myself to these special occasions I am now called upon by local event and wedding planners to take care of their clients.
In my many years of experience I have been fortunate enough to have worked with many local and national celebrities, publications and news outlets. I have had the privilege of working with the following:
Dick Clark – CBS, WTSP-10
Geraldo Rivera – Fox, WTVT-13
