Meet the Team

Hello and welcome to Simply Suite! My name is Gina Renee, and I am a hairstylist at – and the owner of – Simply Suite Salon in downtown Naperville. A little bit about me, I have 20 years of experience behind the chair, and am now broadening my horizons with renting out chairs to some of the best hairstylists this industry has to offer!

I went to cosmetology school at Pivot Point Academy, worked for Mario Tricoci, as well as Salon Liv in Chicago’s Gold Coast. Not only that, but I was even able to obtain experience working at fashion shows and largescale weddings. My journey out of the city eventually led me to being hired at Frank Gironda as a young talent colorist. However, for me, being a specialist in color was not enough; I wanted to do it all! The follow years I then proceeded to further my education in hair design, training at Heidi’s Salon (a Vidal Sassoon training program). After graduation, I took my skills over to Zazu Salon in downtown Naperville where I setup shop for several years.

The next step was by far the most exciting. I took all the experience I had collected over the years, coupled with my specialized training in all areas of hair design, and finally set off on my own. In several years’ time, I went from being an independent hairstylist renting chairs, to being a proud business owner of Simply Suite Salon!

My journey has steered me on many roads in life, but hair has always been my highway! The clients who choose me are the heart of my business, and without them, I would never have been able to thrive in this industry that is my passion!

Hey everyone, I'm Yvette, a licensed hairstylist with 9 years of experience. I won't bore you with my entire hair knowledge, but I'll share the things I enjoy. Iced coffee with oat milk and caramel is my guilty pleasure. My dog Rocco is like my child, and my nephew and niece hold a special place in my heart. Family is everything to me. Oh, and did I mention that Jurassic Park is my favorite movie? I love attending music festivals and exploring new places while traveling. And hey, I like to think I'm pretty funny too!

Overall, my priority is ensuring a genuine and satisfying experience for all my clients. Your happiness walking out the door is my ultimate goal.

Can't wait to meet you!

I have been in the beautifying biz for just over 20 years. It’s truly a blessing to love my JOB and unleash my creativity throughout the years. I love a smooth blow out, or an all out glam look for a special event. I believe finding your best look is a collaborative endeavor.

I look forward to helping you love your look.
