You have gorgeous blond locks! Where do you go to maintain your tresses?
"I go to Sonia Vella at Sine Qua Non Salon. She is amazing. I even hesitate to give out her name because I don’t want everyone knowing about the absolute best stylist in Chicago. You would be absolutely mad not to go to her...wait...never mind...don’t...I’m selfish."

"Here are the tips from the master, Sonia, herself:
1. Always see a professional stylist. They will only put the color on the new growth to ensure the integrity of the hair.
2. Don't go longer than four weeks between root touchups. The longer the roots, the harder it is for the outgrowth to lift evenly.
3. A good toner is key! It neutralizes any warmth and adds shine back to the hair."

What's the craziest hair trend you've ever tried?
"I used to rock a bright red streak in the front of my hair. I got rid of it when I started working for The Second City on NCL Cruise Lines. It was a bit much for the outside world."
