Originally I went to school for Fashion Design, and quickly realized it wasn’t the career path for her. I did finish the program, though, and immediately enrolled at Pivot Point International Academy in Chicago in 2007, to pursue a career in the beauty industry.

After graduating, I completed an extended two year training program at Salon Estem in Glen Ellyn, IL. The program allowed me to learn cutting and styling techniques that very few get to learn early on in their career, including Vidal Sassoon training. I continue to further her education by taking a variety of training courses, and attending multiple academies with high-end product lines such as Prive, Aquage, and Kevin Murphy.

I was given the opportunity to take me skills to the next level, and in 2015 began creating innovative signature styles for visual imagery. Some of my work can be seen in the Italia Vogue. My goal is to build a stunning portfolio throughout my career, with captivating stories behind each experience.

I believe that Model Mayhem can help me connect with talented and creative photographers, wardrobe stylists and models in this amazing industry. I do both hair and makeup and my style is glamour, fashion, and boudoir. Feel free to check out my portfolio at the website provided below or follow me @hollyjames_styles.
