Ailie endeavors to give her clients styles that fit their busy lives: “If my client can’t style their hair in under 15 minutes, I’m not doing my job.” Her favorite styling products include the Deva line for curly hair and Kevin Murphy Full Again thickening cream. Her favorite part of her job is positively impacting people’s lives—specifically when she convinces clients that every hair texture is the best hair texture when cut, shaped and treated correctly.
Fun Fact About Ailie: She won the Chicago Golden Gloves Boxing Championship in 2012.


Aim
Aim is Ailie’s wife and the co-owner of Aim & Ailie Hair Boutique. She takes some credit for the precision and superior technique that Ailie offers her clients as Ailie perfected her skills taming Aim’s thick, cowlick-riddled locks. As a woman who refuses to spend more than 10 minutes per day on her hair, Aim understands the power of a brilliant haircut and excellent styling products. She is devoted to Deva products—especially One Condition and Styling Cream. Read More
