Local Lombard Stylist Awarded Stylist of the Year

Proving that stylists touch more hearts than hair, local Lombard resident and stylist, Kelly Andryzak, has been chosen from hundreds of employees as 18|8 Fine Men’s Salons’ Stylist of the Year for the Midwest Region. 18|8 is the nation’s leading full-service experiential barbershop, empowering men to look and feel their best.

Dedicated to positively impacting the lives of her clients, Kelly, an experienced stylist, was nominated by local 18|8 owner, Kristine Givens, as part of 18|8’s nationwide call for exceptional stylists devoted to helping individuals in Lombard to boost morale and regain confidence. In the “2018 Stylist of the Year” nomination letter, Givens states:

“Kelly is an extremely dedicated worker and team player, and conducts herself with the upmost professionalism, embodying the true values of 18|8. I once answered a call from a woman looking to schedule an appointment for her dad with Alzheimer’s. She went on to tell me that she specifically takes him to our salon because a few stylist, including Kelly, are very kind and respectful to her dad. I constantly take pride in my team, but I could not have been more proud than that day.”

Kelly joined the team at 18|8 since its doors first opened in January 2016 and has continually taken exceptional pride in transforming her clientele with great dedication to her craft. Kelly strives to deliver the best possible service, while always looking for ways to grow and evolve as a professional stylist.

“At 18|8, we are in the business of helping people feel better about themselves, and day in and day out Kelly has proven herself as a natural extension of our core mission to help transform our clientele to look better, feel better and perform better,” said Givens, owner of 18|8 in Lombard. “We are so proud to have this year’s Stylist of the Year for the Midwest region come from our very own salon.”

In addition to being named the brand’s 2018 Stylist of the Year for the Midwest Region, Kelly has also received a new set of styling tools valued at nearly $300.
