Tracy Sternig

Aesthetician/Owner

Tracy attended the Institute of Beauty and Wellness in Milwaukee, WI. She graduated at the top of her class in 2003. She is continually attending continued education to stay on top of the latest techniques. She holds Certifications in Chemical Peels, Microdermabrasion, Dermaplaning, Microneedling (CIT) and the Oxygeneo+ Super Facial and Skin Firming System.

Tracy loves the challenge of individualized skin care and never skimps on exceeding your expectations of luxury relaxation. She has found her passion in treating acne and anti-aging treatments but never passes up an opportunity to take a waxing appointment. “My goal is to make every person I get the opportunity to work with feel like the best version of themselves; not a predetermined idea of “beauty”. We’re all different and that should be celebrated.”

James Kaddatz

Stylist/Owner of St. James Place, a part of Citrine + Sage

James has been a part of the beauty industry since 1981. He got his foot in the door doing makeup for photo shoots at The Beautiful People Modeling Agency and later transitioned into teaching the ‘Art of Application’ for Lancome and Chanel.

James has spent many years cultivating his skills as stylist and color expert. He has completed additional color training at Davines and has been an educator himself for Arteck, TIGI and Goldwell. He is proud and honored to have trained fellow colleagues that are currently working as Platform Artists in the industry throughout the Midwest.

Expect every visit with James to be a comprehensive luxury experience. He takes pride in knowing that he offers his clients the finest of hair care and coloring services and products.

Brittany Balisteri

Stylist/Owner of Hair Bar MKE, a part of Citrine + Sage

Brittany was born into the Beauty Industry and realized she had a passion for hair at a very young age. She decided to follow in her mom’s footsteps and graduated from The Paul Mitchell School in 2009. She makes continued education and staying on top of current trends a priority.

She’s never met a blonde she didn’t like! Keeping blondes blonde, bright and natural is her claim to fame. Not a blonde? Don’t worry. She can do anything from giving her clients that, “I don’t get my hair colored; it’s natural” look to adding a pop of the latest Fashion Colors or teaching you how to get the look of your dreams with as little maintenance as possible.
