Marquise Dennis

Marquise is a hair stylist with 20 plus years of experience in braiding, extension hairstyling, and natural hair care. After a sudden house fire in 2016 Marquise was forced to relocate to another state leaving her devoted clientele of years behind. As a mother she needed an immediate income with a flexible schedule. She found a local blowout salon that was hiring, but with no previous blowout experience she was hesitant to apply. After a mediocre training session from the salon Marquise knew her level of excellence in blowouts would have to come from within. With lots of practice, dedication, and a bucket of tears she mastered this timeless technique. Because Marquise stayed focused and never gave up, she earned a salon position in management where she began teaching others how to perform fabulous blowouts, that even furthered her love for hairstyling. Marquise has had the pleasure of working on celebrity photo shoots, being lead stylist at industry based pop up shops, as well as worked on major red carpet events such as: The Country Music Awards, Telemundo Awards, Latin Music Awards, J. LO x Guess photo shoot, and numerous wedding and formal events on the infamous Las Vegas Strip.
