Hi! My name is Lana. I’ve been in the beauty industry since 2015 and was born and raised in the Midwest. My favorite hobbies include thrift shopping, learning new hair styles, and playing catch with my Goldendoodle named Honey. My biggest goal in my career is to never stop learning, and always be hungry for more. More work, more knowledge, getting to know more people etc. Grateful I get to do what I love, everyday.
