CARA LEE CORREIA I began my career in the entertainment industry, working in hair and makeup for film, television, and theatre. It was during this time that I discovered my deep passion for hair, as well as the artistry and science behind color and cutting.

As an educator, I naturally gravitated toward sharing my knowledge, driven by an insatiable curiosity and a commitment to continuous learning. I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with some of the top brands in the industry, and my work has been featured globally in both print and on screen. But this is just the beginning. I’m excited to continue growing, sharing insights, and inspiring my fellow stylists along the way.
