MADELINE HEILE

CINCINNATI-based HAIRSTYLIST, MENTOR + EDUCATOR

Hi, I’m Madeline Heile — a hairstylist, session artist, educator and member of Shokunin Clik. My approach is a reflection of the many artists who’ve guided me, the spaces I’ve worked in, and the craft I’ve spent years refining. My work blends technical precision with a deep respect for the client experience—specializing in dimensional color, lived-in blondes, precision cutting, and modern extensions.

Shokunin Clik

As part of the Shokunin Clik session and education team, I collaborate with artists who are as passionate about growth and craft as I am. It’s also where I’ve found my footing as a mentor—supporting other stylists, sharing what I’ve learned, and continuing to grow in return. That exchange of knowledge and creative challenge has added a whole new layer of meaning to my career.

These experiences continue to shape my perspective and inspire my approach behind the chair.

Experience and location

Currently, I’m behind the chair at Ivy Salon (Northside), specializing in blonding, dimensional color, and seamless extensions. I’m committed to working with all hair types and textures. I approach each client with intention—focused on enhancing their features, lifestyle, and personal style through custom, modern hair. My goal is to help clients understand and love their hair, whether we’re going lighter, longer, or trying something totally new.

Coloring services

I am exclusively using Duomo professional color (Sicily, IT) —a clean, organic, cruelty-free, vegan, and woman-owned line that aligns with my values. It's longer-lasting, bond-building, and gives me the flexibility to create beautiful, high-performance results while protecting the integrity of the hair and the planet.

Outside of the salon, I’m a mom to two sweet (and very active!) boys and a proud partner to a hard-working entrepreneur. Travel, culture, and creativity have always shaped my perspective—fueling both the artistry in my work and the long-term vision I’m building toward in this industry.

If you’re new here, welcome. I can't wait to meet you!
