Elle Laureano is a seasoned professional hair stylist and makeup artist with a passion for photography, fashion, and visual storytelling. Elle's career began in a salon after earning her Illinois Cosmetology License, but her fascination with photography and film inspired a natural transition to print, video, and on-location work.

Her journey started in Chicago, where she worked with leading agencies like Aria and Ford New York, honing her craft through perseverance and preparation. These early experiences opened doors to incredible opportunities with top clients, diverse teams, and stunning locations, building a versatile portfolio spanning executive portraits, lifestyle shoots, progressive fashion, and media productions.

Seeking a warmer climate and new horizons, Elle relocated to Charlotte, where she now books directly, a decision that has been both refreshing and rewarding. Her ability to adapt, collaborate, and bring creative visions to life has made her an invaluable asset on every set.

Elle's deep understanding of lighting, color, hair, and skin, combined with her hands-on experience across various mediums, allows her to seamlessly balance artistry and professionalism. Whether it’s a high-stakes shoot, a corporate project, or an editorial campaign, Elle brings style, instinct, and enthusiasm to every project she touches. She firmly believes in the power of a team effort and is always ready to contribute her expertise to bring a creative vision to life.

Now booking directly, Elle is available for projects as a professional hair stylist, makeup artist, and fashion stylist, bringing years of experience, an eye for detail, and an unwavering commitment to excellence to every crew she joins.
