Owner, Stylist, Lash Artist
Hi! I’m Liz, the owner of Onyx & Ivy, where I specialize in eyelash extensions that promote natural eyelash health and low-maintenance, dimensional hair color that beautifully blends with grey.
With over 17 years in the beauty industry and 8 years as a salon owner, I’ve dedicated my career to helping clients look and feel their best. I’m happily married with three children, and we live on a hobby farm with our chickens and goats.
My journey into beauty wasn't typical. Growing up with big, curly hair that I struggled to manage, I longed for straight locks. It wasn't until I turned 21 that I discovered my passion for cosmetology and enrolled in a local school. After completing my training, I joined an Aveda salon in Lansing, where I spent my first seven years developing my skills and completing advanced training in color and cutting techniques, learning from some of Aveda’s finest artists.
After a year and a half away to grow our family, I returned to the industry, eager to dive back into my craft. My curiosity was reignited when I learned about eyelash extensions, leading me to enroll in a class that made me a Certified Eyelash Artist in 2016. I love the intricate work involved in creating stunning eyelashes while prioritizing natural lash health.
When I’m not working, you can find me on our growing homestead, homeschooling my children, playing with our farm animals, or tending to our vegetable and herb gardens during the summer.
