	PAIGE - Paige Ellis, Co-owner of Satori Salon & Spa, rules when it comes to thick & unruly hair! With 16 years in the beauty business, Paige specializes in taming uncontrollable locks. She is certified in two straightening systems: Bio·Ionic Japanese Straightening & Simply Smooth Brazilian Straightening. Bio·Ionic Japanese Straightening is a patented system that harnesses the power of natural negative ions to help recondition & retexture hair so that your tresses will feel smooth, super-soft & look silky shiny. Simply Smooth Brazilian Straightening uses Keratin, a natural substance that comprises approximately 88% of your hair, to penetrate the hair, repairing internal damage & coating the hair to prevent further harm. Paige trained at Vidal Sassoon in London & Bumble and bumble in NYC.
